I doubt its the cookie as such. It will be the remote site, rather
foolhardily tying "session" to the clients IP.

If they see the client IP change, they invalidate the session. I guess
trying to protect against session fixation - but its a bad way to do
it, because lots of clients change IP address. Who remembers AOL
proxing all users?

I've faced this problem before, it took lots of badgering the
webmaster to 'fix' their website.
