I have not used AbleCommerce before so I don't know if there is a setting
you can change for that behavior, however since the early days of the
browser when you write a cookie from a given directory structure in a given
domain, only a script run from that same address can access the cookie. This
is a security feature so that you can not read cookies from other website
that a user has visited. Shoot an email to the folks at AbleCommerce they
may have a solution to your problem.
