Is it possible for me to set a cookie from MyDomain1.com and then read that
same cookie from MyDomain2.com?

No, you can set a cookie from host1.domain.tld with
document.cookie = 'cokieName=' + escape(cookieValue) +
'; domain=domain.tld'
and then read it from host2.domain.tld

Not unless you change the security settings in your browser. You can't do it
on my system.

From MyDomain1.com, set a cookie for MyDomain2.com - I believe you can
write, but not read to someone else's domain name... thus by having a script
executed from MyDomain1.com and planting it at MyDomain2.com - you should
then be able to use code on MyDomain2.com to read MyDomain2.com cookies...

I'm not certain of this, but believe the 'rule' to be that you have no read
access to another domains cookies - I don't believe there is a problem to
createing a cookie for a domain any domain.
