Ok, I found the problem. While setting the cookie with javascript, I was
writing the expiration date in a different line of code, like this:
document.cookie="cookiename=cookievalue";
document.cookie="expires=anydate";
the correct syntax is:
document.cookie="cookiename=cookievalue;expires=date";
Just in case you face the same situation in the future.
Thanks and Regards!

Due to some requirements in my project, I have to set some cookies using
JavaScript code, not the cfcookie Tag, and these are the cookies that are
not written to the hard drive when I close the browser... (that�s why I
think this is related to the expires property). The format that I am using
for the expiration date is: Wdy, DD-MM-YY HH:MM:SS GMT.
Thanks again.

to set a cookie to never expire try:
cfcookie name=dbcookie value = '#tempvalue#' expires=NEVER
this will allow you to close the browser and come back woth the cookie stil
intacted.
