will be created with the same name instead of overwriting the old cookie.

Thats not good because so cookies cant be deleted :(

2. store a second cookie with same name and different value
3. look in your cookie manager

Actual Results:  
2 cookies are in my cookie manager with different values and same name

only one cookie should exist
