How to set cookie path in asp.net mvc

I am trying to set cookie path so that they should not be accessible to other applications on a shared server if path is set to root i.e. "/"

I am trying to set it as follows in web.config file: 

<forms loginUrl="~/account/logon" timeout="2880" requireSSL="true" path="my_virtual_directory_name" />

I know this will only work for ".ASPXAUTH" cookie. In my case path is set to this cookie and another cookie with same name is created with path set as root.

I need to set path for all cookies and there should not be duplication of cookies, one with proper path and another with path set to root.

Please suggest me how can I set a fixed path for all cookies in asp.net mvc 4 application.

Thanks.

use this is asp.net C#

 HttpCookie cookies=  HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies["sessionstarttime"];
            cookies.Value = "Value of Cookies";
            cookies.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(20);
            cookies.Path = "/";

if you are using JQuery then use following

$.cookie("sessionstarttime", "Value",{ path: '/' });

This is a very basic example showing how to set the cookie path.

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        ControllerContext.HttpContext.Response.Cookies.Add(
             new HttpCookie("test", "hello") { Path = @"/admin", 
             Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1)});

        return View();
    }
}
