Try

    if ($AuthId && ! $_COOKIE['author']) { $Author = $AuthId;
      setcookie($CookiePrefix.'author', $Author, 0, '/'); }

Keep in mind you need to log out and log back in to test it.

Also, at the top of local/config.php (not farmconfig.php), put

   ## Produce a unique cookie prefix for this fie.
   $CookiePrefix = substr($tmp = md5(__FILE__), 0, 5).'_';
