Okay, the problem was that the cookie was from my admin login (which I had not logged out of). When I deleted this cookie, the cookie test seemed to work. It does seem odd that I can't have two cookies for two different users on the same browser. Is there a way to change this? Maybe by incorporating the user id into the session id? My cookie was just called myproject_myapp_sessionid.
