# cookies across sub-domain and https

 * Our cookies are being set to domain [http://www.site.com](http://www.site.com).
   In wp-config.php, I added
    `define('COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.site.com');` but it didn’t
   have any effect. I found the method session_set_cookie_params that sounds like
   it might help but I don’t know where to put this in the code. Bluehost is hosting
   the blog so I’m not even sure if I have access to the files I need.
 * documentation for session_set_cookie_params:
    [http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-cookie-params.php](http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-cookie-params.php)
 * I appreciate any help!
