I was wondering if there is a straightforward way of getting a user’s session cookie and posting it to a page on a different site to be processed there?

If a diffrent site means a diffrent domain or even subdomain, the answer is no. For security reasons a cookie should not be read by other pages. And as a session cookie only contains a session ID but the actual session data is stored on the server, posting a users cookie to another site would not give you access to the users data on this page.
