Expectation

What should be happening? What will it look like / how will it behave when fixed?

Context

What operating system? What browser type and version?

Proposal & Constraints

What is the proposed solution / implementation? Is there a precedent of this approach succeeding elsewhere?

@cdrini https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1721#issuecomment-370283655 according to this we need to set the URL before setting the cookie or it will not work. And according to comments on lines 89 and 93 we are setting the cookie before the URL so that might be the problem. If this solution is correct I would like to create a PR for the same.

This appears to go longer be an issue; testcafe is running normally
