The Path flag specifies which sub-part of a domain may access a cookie. Very useful when hosting on free hosters such as Geocities or ISP hosts. Indeed, if http://www.geocities.com/mysupersite sets a cookie without putting the Path=/mysupersite flag, then http://www.geocities.com/myevilsite can steal all the cookies from mysupersite, who will therefore starve. Uncool, isn't it? :(.
