Is it possible to set cookie in one domain and access the same in another domain?
Actually I need to set a cookie in A page when user clicks a button and then user needs to be redirected to B. But the cookies are working for the same domain but not for other domain.

You can set a cookie in
A.and redirect to a script onB.that will set a cookie for you. This approach generally uses hashing techniques so that B can tell that the request has e from an authorised source. – halfer Commented Jan 3, 2016 at 21:43

Reset to default 4No. You can only set cookies for the domain your script is currently running on.

No. That would be a security risk.
Cookies were designed for maintaining state, like user preferences. Would you like Joe Random Evil Site to be able to change your preferences for your Online Banking service?
if you have both A. and B., you can simply make a http (or https whatever) request from A to B and put on it whatever you want to pass to B. . B. gets the request, saves it serverside, when user enters the B., server sends back the data to user.
