How to set a cookie for another domain using JavaScript?

Is it possible to set cookie in one domain and access the same in another domain?

Actually I need to set a cookie in A.com page when user clicks a button and then user needs to be redirected to B.com. But the cookies are working for the same domain but not for other domain.

if you have both A.com and B.com, you can simply make a http (or https whatever) request from A to B and put on it whatever you want to pass to B.com . B.com gets the request, saves it serverside, when user enters the B.com, server sends back the data to user.

No. You can only set cookies for the domain your script is currently running on.

No. That would be a security risk.
