[support] $cookie_domain not working

[Jamie Holly]

Since you are changing the tld (top level domain), simply changing 
$cookie_domain won't work. Browsers won't send out the cookie from one 
tld to another.

The only easy fix would be to setup a subdomain of saltwebsites.com for 
the German version, something like de.saltwebsites.com and then redirect 
saltwebsites.de to this new site. Then you can set your cookie_domain to 
.saltwebsites.com and it would work across all subdomains.
