Cookies have nothing to do with tabs or windows — they have to do with requests to a domain. Whenever the browser makes a request to a webserver for a domain, any cookies that it has for that domain will be sent in the request header.
Is having too many tabs open bad?
Too many tabs, in almost any web browser, will lead to overtaxed computer memory, a reduction in battery life, and, for sure, a cluttered browser workspace. Many of us, myself included, can live with the clutter, but when your machine slows down its time for a change.
How do I keep multiple tabs open?

Does having multiple tabs open slow down your computer?
How to keep tabs from slowing down your browser. If you keep more than a few tabs open at the same time, it eats up your computer’s memory and makes everything, especially the browser itself, run slower. Sometimes it will crash the browser.
How many tabs can you open with 8gb of RAM?
Conclusion. So 9000 tabs is the maximum number for this test. I checked my result with others and apparently many people with 8-16GB RAM got around 8000-9000 tabs too.
How much RAM do you need for a lot of tabs?
Having at least 4GB of RAM will let users load up a reasonable number of browser tabs and leave enough RAM for using email, working with applications like Microsoft Word, and playing casual games. That makes 4GB a good minimum specification for most users.
How many tabs can you open with 16GB of RAM?
So 9000 tabs is the maximum number for this test. I checked my result with others and apparently many people with 8-16GB RAM got around 8000-9000 tabs too.
How are cookies visible to all tabs in JavaScript?
By default cookies are visible to all paths in their domains, but at the time of creation they can be retricted to a given subpath – for example “www.example.com/images”. so any tab which is having same root domain can access that cookie.
In other words, data inside sessionStorage is confined to not just the domain and directory of the invoking page, but the browser tab in which the page is contained in. Contrast that to session cookies, which do persist data from tab to tab. I achieved similar behavior some time back. So, what I do is something like this:
Is there a non HTML5 way to have Tab specific Cookie identifiers?
Typical use cases apply in that if the user logs out from one tab, it logs them out of another tab. Right now it requires having the user login from two unique browser instances in order to be able to login to two different accounts. Is there a non-HTML5 way (using standard javascript cookies) to have tab-specific cookie identifiers?
Can a cookie be set to a top level domain?
It is not possible to set the root domain to ‘top level’ domains such as ‘.com’ or ‘.co.uk’ since this would allow widespread access to the cookie. By default cookies are visible to all paths in their domains, but at the time of creation they can be retricted to a given subpath – for example “www.example.com/images”.
