Hi,

 

so if I understand you have :

 

  • cookie1 domain=domain.com
  • cookie2 domain=host.domain.com
  • TSxxxx1 //set to cookie1
  • TSxxxx2 // set to cookie2

Correct ?

 

By default, if no "domain" is set the cookie is played by the client only for the specific "host".

 

When setting the "domain" attribute it the cookie is played to all subdomains.

 

So normally, depending on the need, only one cookie should be sufficient...

 

Did you asked the "application team" why this is used like that ?

 

Regards
