I'm just guessing here so don't take this too seriously, but there is something in your server info called turck_mmcache which might be caching the pae on the first run through then giving you a static page on refresh, but I wouldn't know for sure. One way to test for that would be to make the page that sets the cookie provide a link to a page that reads the cookie. If the cookie is successfully read from the second page then it's most likely a caching problem.
