I have a React application. Currently I am using js-cookie to manage my cookies. Right now I am facing this problem: I need the cookies to be available at domain level and not subdomain level.

Eg: my site is running under mysite.mydomain, then I need the cookies to be available to any site that is running under .mydomain

I read in other post that I can be achievable just setting the path to "/". SO I mad this:

Cookies.set('session', myvalue ,{path:'/'});

However it's still creating the cookie at mysite.mydomain

So, what else can I do? I dont want to writte the domain directly when I create the cookie due that it's not clean and also the development is under localhost and it would get a mess. So, I am looking for a clean solution

Thank you very much

• @mplungjan yes, am sure, I check it many times loooking for a reason but nothing. Doesnt have to be something with the 'domain' attribute? or with 'path' is enough? – Sredny M Casanova Commented Oct 2, 2017 at 20:41

You need to use domain

Cookies.set('session', myvalue ,{ domain: 'mydomain.' });

More info.

This should work according to the MDN documentation. In case it doesn't try setting a dot in the beginning .mydomain..
