Cookies

Hi
How can I set Cookies for other Domains than that domain, who is trying to set it?
Example: Setting a cookie on domain www.abc.de for doman www.def.de

Only the doamin where the cookie is written to can access that cookie,

I´ve tried it with the domain-parameter. But when I specify an another domain than that, who is trying to set the cookie, the Browser don´t accept it.
It seems that this parameter is only for subdomains
