setdomaincookies allows you to track client variables across domains. With normal client tracking, if a vistor accesses http://mydomain.com/index.cfm and then clicks a link to http://mysubdomain.mydomain.com/index.cf he will appear as two separate clients. If you have setdomaincookies on, then he will appear as a single client. This only matters if you're using cookies for session tracking, rather than appending to URLs, because it's in the way cookies are implemented.
