This is because of the writing to the header both cfcookie and cflocation
write the header. When you set a cookie and then use cflocation the header
is over written by cflocation wiping out the cookie. use JavaScript location
instead.

Subject: RE: [CF-Talk] CFCOOKIE problems
This is a common question. The problem is actually with the way CF does the
redirect, not with the browser (which is commonly accused of being the
fault), so this will happen with all browsers. When CF tells the browser to
redirect, it doesn't set a cookie at the same time. (I'm not sure why, or
if this is even legal.) You can see what I mean with the following code and
request log:
Code:
<CFCOOKIE NAME="test" EXPIRES="NEVER" VALUE="thisIsATest">
<CFLOCATION URL="/index.cfm" ADDTOKEN="No">
Request:
GET http://partners.womensforum.com/test.cfm HTTP/1.0
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.08 [en] (Win98; U ;Nav)
Host: partners.womensforum.com
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg,
image/png, */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Accept-Language: en
Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1,*,utf-8
Cookie: CFID=162342; CFMAGIC=162342%3A4486494; CFTOKEN=4486494
Response:
HTTP/1.1 302 Object Moved
Location: /
Server: Microsoft-IIS/4.0
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 117
<head><title>Document Moved</title></head>
<body><h1>Object Moved</h1>This document may be found
<a HREF="/">here</a>
So, the answer is:
If you are going to set a cookie then you need to do a soft redirect (with a
META tag or javascript, or whatever) instead of the hard redirect with
CFLOCATION.

Subject: [CF-Talk] CFCOOKIE problems
I am attempting to use this:
<CFCOOKIE NAME="profID" VALUE="#profID#" EXPIRES="NEVER">
to set a cookie on a page. It is not setting the cookie. I'm not sure what
I'm doing wrong but it is aggravating me to no end.
Here is the block of code the above tag is in:
<cfelse>
<cfset profID = 0>
<cfmodule template="../getProfID.cfm" geckoKey="#geckoKey#"
profile_id="#checkCode.profile_id#">
<cfset SaveMe=Form.SaveMe>
<CFIF SaveMe IS 1>
<CFCOOKIE NAME="profID" VALUE="#profID#" EXPIRES="NEVER">
</CFIF>
<cflocation url="/index.cfm?profID=#profID#&flogin=1">
</cfif>
