It is not thread-safe at all. You will have to maintain a separate
copy of the cookies, such as with a global TIdCookieManager that is
not directly assigned to any TIdHTTP objects, and then copy the
individual cookies to/from each TIdHTTP instance when needed. That
way, you can protect all access to the shared TIdCookieManager, and
each TIdHTTP can operate on a local copy of the cookies without
effecting other instances, ie:
IdHTTP.CookieManager.CookieCollection.Clear;
// copy shared cookies into TIdHTTP, then...
IdHTTP1.Get(...);
// now copy the new cookies into the shared manager as needed...
