I don't understand. Do you control the back-end application that is
consuming the cookies, or is it someone else's site?

What you are asking people on this list to help you with appears to
subvert this website's wishes, and leads me to suspect that you don't
control it.

Whatever your intentions are, malicious or otherwise, until you can
confirm that you're merely proxying your own application I'm not going
to be able to help you.
