This is actually a 'bug' in cookie naming. I just ran into this problem today. One person wishing to access two user accounts on the same domain, or two persons using the same browser accessing the same domain will have problems in cookie naming. The cookie name must take into account the user_id, or some other distinguishing data. Otherwise each user will overwrite the data of the other. This is not an easy problem to solve without careful thought.
