Set multiple IE10 cookies for the same domain?

I’m trying to install a cookie file from code on a client side machine. I can tell using the lovely IECookiesView tool, or the less lovely Notepad, that the cookie file contains multiple cookies of different names for the same domain.

However if I try (from C#) to set a cookie using InternetSetCookieEx, then I only appear to be able to set one cookie per domain.

Is there a way to set multiple cookies?

I think the issue I had was that I had missed off the trailing semicolon on the first cookie. This meant that subsequent attempts to set cookies were ignored.

When using InternetSetCookieEx, you add one cookie at a time. You call it multiple times to add more than one cookie.

Having said that, InternetSetCookieEx only modifies the user's cookie store at the integrity level that it's run at; by default, Internet-zone tabs run at Low Integrity or AppContainer Integrity and as a consequence any cookies set by an application running at MediumIL will be ignored by that process.
