Unfortunately, not simply. Cookies are such that they are restricted (and located) based on the site's hostname: different mirrors with different hosts means we can't access the cookie for one from the other one.

(I'm thinking ways to solve this problem: it's just a concept, but you could - say - have the links to mirrors include (in the query string) the options [which the target mirror then sets]. Or, if not in the normal links, some specific ones for this purpose -- say, on the customize page, links to the varying mirrors to a specific page which then sets the cookie options as on the query string. Jim?)
