Or why not rename your cookies to something extremely original? Something that you won't have to worry about being overwritten?

[jaeger]

could be as good as write protekt it .. but the site as have put the cookie there is asking for the same cookie again if u rename it can it find it again ?????

What should have been done is a cookie with an original name should have been made in the first place, but it would probably work to open your cookie, read the data, and save with an original name.
