Browser Cookie Set/Get Issue

[Sucpraran]

We are using Cookies in our application to track user session. It
works 95% but fails in occations. We could not find any pattern for
this. Below is the code to Set and Get cookies. In the occations when
it fails, we get nothing in getCookie as if cookie is not set. We
verified Browswer Setting and all of them accept cookies. We try to
find a pattern with Broswer types/versions and OS types/versions but
could not come with a pattern.

This happens on those particular PC. The same user might be able to
login by logging in from different PC. So far no clue on what could be
the error. Any suggestion on where to look at.

Thanks
