Cookies can contain a Path, this is probably what you are looking for: http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Additional_Defined_Constants

To allow the cookie for all path on the domain, use define('COOKIEPATH',"/");.

You can also set the cookie domain in wp-config.php: http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Set_Cookie_Domain

Although I highly recommend yscik's solution to edit wp-config, in case you do not have access to the wp-config.php you can use this plugin.
