Comment (by johnbillion):

 What this needs:

  * Modify the server-side `setcookie()` so it also includes `COOKIEPATH`
 and `COOKIE_DOMAIN`.
  * Ensure that the path and domain arguments used when the cookie set
 client-side match these. This is in the `wpCookies` JS class.

 We won't switch to `wordpress-` as a prefix because this cookies doesn't
 need to be whitelisted to pass through a varnish proxy.
