    What makes you think konqueror is trying to save data in /?

    If you're looking at the "Path" (as mozilla calls it) in the "Cookie
    Details" dialog, that has no relevance to your local file system. It
    is the base path of URLs at that site for which the cookie will be
    returned. For example, if I browse to http://mail.yahoo.com/ and the
    server requests setting a cookie with path "/", then when I browse to
    http://mail.yahoo.com/foo, the browser will supply the cookie back to
    the server because /foo is under /.
