As cdn.mydomain.com is not part of your WordPress network, it wont be affected by your settings. The COOKIE_DOMAIN constant should only be used if you want to serve cookies from a single domain for all your sites in the network.

Using get_sites() in WP 4.6+ It looks like wp_get_sites() will be deprecated in WP 4.6.

With plugins like WP Multi Network you can set up multiple networks. You could split that food blogs network into several networks: mediterranean food blogs, brazilian food blogs, thai … Read more
I implemented a MU site similar to this a few years ago and there are some caveats you need to consider before going that direction. It’s helpful to think of an MU installation is a convenient way of accessing the administration of multiple, independent WordPress installations. It operates not much differently than if you installed … Read more
