What makes you think konqueror is trying to save data in /?
I can see how this could be confusing if you didn't have the knowledge of how cookies work (which Derrick explains below) and you know that your filesystem root '/' is off limits to your user. Fortunatly the browser only writes into your home directory or possibly /tmp.
If you're looking at the "Path" (as mozilla calls it) in the "Cookie Details" dialog, that has no relevance to your local file system. It is the base path of URLs at that site for which the cookie will be returned. For example, if I browse to http://mail.yahoo.com/ and the server requests setting a cookie with path "/", then when I browse to http://mail.yahoo.com/foo, the browser will supply the cookie back to the server because /foo is under /.
