I changed some in your code and it works for me, so you get cookie from site and only than get Document

public Document get(String url) throws IOException {
    Connection connection = Jsoup.connect(url).userAgent("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WindowsNT 5.1; en-US; rv1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6");
    Connection.Response response = connection.execute();
    connection.cookies(response.cookies());
    return connection.get();
}

This code is very confusing. The flow is illogical and the exception handling is bad. The object reference comparisons like if (p != path) and if (cookys != cookies) makes no utter sense. To compare object's contents you need to use equals() method instead.

To the point, I understand that you want to maintain cookies in a bunch of subsequent Jsoup requests on the same domain. In that case, you need to basically adhere the following flow:

Map<String, String> cookies = new HashMap<String, String>();

// First request.
Connection connection1 = Jsoup.connect(url1);
for (Entry<String, String> cookie : cookies.entrySet()) {
    connection1.cookie(cookie.getKey(), cookie.getValue());
}
Response response1 = connection1.execute();
cookies.putAll(response1.cookies());
Document document1 = response1.parse();
// ...

// Second request.
Connection connection2 = Jsoup.connect(url2);
for (Entry<String, String> cookie : cookies.entrySet()) {
    connection2.cookie(cookie.getKey(), cookie.getValue());
}
Response response2 = connection2.execute();
cookies.putAll(response2.cookies());
Document document2 = response2.parse();
// ...

// Third request.
Connection connection3 = Jsoup.connect(url3);
for (Entry<String, String> cookie : cookies.entrySet()) {
    connection3.cookie(cookie.getKey(), cookie.getValue());
}
Response response3 = connection3.execute();
cookies.putAll(response3.cookies());
Document document3 = response3.parse();
// ...

// Etc.

This can be refactored to the following method:

private Map<String, String> cookies = new HashMap<String, String>();

public Document get(url) throws IOException {
    Connection connection = Jsoup.connect(url);
    for (Entry<String, String> cookie : cookies.entrySet()) {
        connection.cookie(cookie.getKey(), cookie.getValue());
    }
    Response response = connection.execute();
    cookies.putAll(response.cookies());
    return response.parse();
}

which can be used as

YourJsoupWrapper jsoupWrapper = new YourJsoupWrapper();

Document document1 = jsoupWrapper.get(url1);
// ...

Document document2 = jsoupWrapper.get(url2);
// ...

Document document3 = jsoupWrapper.get(url3);
// ...

Note that the upcoming Jsoup 1.6.2 will come with a new Connection#cookies(Map) method which should make that for loop everytime superfluous.
