Cookie not being set for all pages

I'm using the following code to set a cookie:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<html>
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
function SetCookie(c_name,value,expiredays)
{
var exdate=new Date()
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate()+expiredays)
document.cookie=c_name+ "=" +escape(value)+
((expiredays==null) ? "" : ";expires="+exdate.toGMTString())
}
</script>
 <title></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if(!isset($_COOKIE["eucookie"]))
{ ?>
<div id="eucookielaw">
<a href="#" id="removecookie" onClick="SetCookie('eucookie','eucookie','100')">Accept this cookie</a>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<script>
  $("#removecookie").click(function () {
   $("#eucookielaw").remove();
  });
</script>
</body>
</html>

So when the user clicks the "Accept this cookie" link it will set the cookie and close the div. If the user comes back to the page then it checks if that cookie exists and then doesn't show the link if it does exist.

The problem I have is that I have this in the header of my site and if I visit the homepage directly the cookie sets the path as "/" and so further pages do not show the "Accept" cookie link. If however

If however I navigate to a page off of the root i.e. /about then it will set the cookie but then going back to the homepage the "Accept" link remains and I have to click it again.

Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong?
