[SOLVED]  the issue was not with cookies .. I had to change the way I 
handle the session store w subdomain ...   should not using domain => :all

I finally set  in initializers/session_store.rb 

Rails.application.config.session_store :active_record_store, :key => 
'_myapp_session', :domain => {
  production: 'myapp.com', 
  development: 'lvh.me'}.fetch(Rails.env.to_param.to_sym, :all)

so now I can set/delete the cookies[:login] according to user 
authentication w FB/Google and originated subdomain ( parameter :state in 
URL)

on signout, I have to delete the cookies[:login], on redirection I have to 
check if the cookies[:login] is related to the subdomain else delete it...

great post and link about it :

Quoted- As it turns outs 'domain: all' creates a cookie for all the 
different subdomains that are visited during that session (and it ensures 
that they are passed around between request).
 If no domain argument is passed, it means that a new cookie is created for 
every different domain that is visited in the same session and the old one 
gets discarded. 
What I needed was a single cookie that is persistent throughout the 
session, even when the domain changes. Hence, passing 'domain: lvh.me' 
solved the problem in development. This creates a single cookie that stays 
there between different subdomains.

For anyone needing further explanation, 
this is a great link:
