My suggestion would be to deploy your different environments into
separate contexts. That way, the cookie paths are distinguishable and
there shouldn't be any confusion no matter what the situation is on the
client.

One other possibility would be to disable the use of cookies altogether
on the server and force the use or URL rewriting: that would essentially
force each browser window or tab into it's own isolated "session". This
requires that you have coded your pages correctly to support URL
rewriting, of course.

Good luck,
