You can build a cookie-proxy by creating a Flash application and use Shared Objects (SO = Flash cookies) to store data.

Any Browsers with Flash installed could retrieve the informations stored in the SO.

But, it's an ugly workaround.

Just don't share cookies... and find another way to build your website/app.
