I said:
Yep. You're using an Internet Explorer version >= 5.01.
You might have thought this was unhelpful, correct as it almost certainly
was.
The underlying reason is that Microsoft thought it could get clever with IE
and allow different windows to use different ASP sessions simultaneously.
Unfortunately, with IE 5.01, MS also took away [Tools : Internet Options :
Advanced : Launch new windows in separate processes], so the decision to use
separate processes (and share such things as cookies) is no longer yours. IE
makes the decision based on resources available.

Then again, you might not be talking about session cookies, in which case
you almost certainly are dealing with a privacy/security issue. Do you
experience the same behavior when you use the most permissive settings for
privacy and security?
Or I could just have read your post incorrectly, and thought that you
understood the difference between transient and persistent cookies. In that
case, see Curt's post, and ignore mine.
