Does your server have the same local time as the computer with the browser?
A cookie sent to a browser whos local time is in the future from the view of the server is expired upon delivery. If you don't believe, set your computer clock 1 day to the future or just one hour and you can not permanently log on to perlmonks for example.

Have a nice day
All decision is left to your taste

    That's only a problem if the browser's clock is set far enough into the future to exceed the expire time of the cookie. In this case, both browser and server were running on the same laptop, so clock wasn't an issue.
