The "path=" statement is an instruction to the browser.  When the 
browser requests a URL it uses some logic to determine whether to return 
a cookie to the server, or not.  A URL contains a path.  The "path=/" 
statement overrides the default path and tells the browser to send the 
cookie to any URL requested on the domain.  It makes the cookie global 
for the domain, rather than limited to any specific path.
