See if the problem goes away in Firefox. That will help identify whether it is a browser setting you are overlooking, like cookies being disabled.
It is likely that the session is still active on the server, but it is no longer linked to the browser because the session token is different. If you cfparam session.x=now() on the home page and on the profile page, navigate from home to profile back to home, what is the value of session.x (it is one of three values)? Are you using J2EE sessions or the traditional ColdFusion sessions? Try switching from one to the other to see if the problem goes away. Make sure the URL is not changing from http://xyz.com to http://www.xyz.com when you switch pages. Some firewalls and proxy servers interfere with setting browser cookies, if it is happening on more than one site.
