Some of these values look wrong. Your 'path' ought to be as the
browser sees it, and your 'domain' ditto; the only way that these
would make sense is if you're setting this cookie on a page such as:

http://foo.www.my_site.com/var/www/html/my_site/blah/blah

and you want to also see the cookie on the page:

http://bar.www.my_site.com/var/www/html/my_site/asdf/qwer

Otherwise, I would recommend omitting those elements and allowing the
defaults through.
