Cookies are always attached to a domain and (optionally) a directory.
Several reasons for that:

* Browsers don't need to waste bandwidth sending *all* cookies stored in
the computer with every HTTP request.

* Sites don't overwrite other's cookies.

* Your private info stored in cookies is not sent to every site you visit.


If you need to create a cookie and read if from other sites, you can create
one different cookie per site (with the same value), but you must be aware
that some browsers block third-party cookies by default.
