The path gives you the chance to specify a directory where the cookie is active The Domain and Path attributes define the scope of the cookie.

Quick research shows that port number is not supported by the Cookies standard, so even if you attempt to implement this, there is no guarantee that browsers will honor the port restriction.

Perhaps use a different domain for the second instance.
