For some very odd reason, you can't set a cookie and then check for it within the same
process.
Your options:
1) Use session variables instead. (recommended)
2) Use HTML meta-refresh to redirect to a cookie-checking page. (CFLOCATION will NOT
work)
3) Prompt the user to "continue" and have them go the the cookie-checking page on
their own with either a link or form button.
