Answer 1

you should Provide Default Path for your Cookie which is Server root. the Below Code snippet shows how to set Default Server Root path

 HttpCookie NewCookie = new HttpCookie("ASP.Net_SessionId");
 NewCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(1);
 NewCookie.Secure = false;
 NewCookie.Path = "/";
 NewCookie.Domain = "DomainName";
 HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Add(NewCookie);

so basically as your Code, you can do Following

Response.Cookies[CookieName].Path = "/";
