Any cookies set by your server, no matter what application is used to write the cookies, are readable by any other application on the same server as long as the browser returns those cookies to the server. However, it may be the case that the ASP.NET cookies don't contain plaintext values, in which case you'd have to figure out how to interpret the values from CF.
