Are you using the same domain name throughout your site?
How is the path part of the cookie being set and what is it
being set to? (sorry i have never used mason).
The browser will not send the cookie
back if the domain does not match or the path that the
page is GETting or POSTing to is not an exact match
or a subdirectory of the path set in the cookie.
Here is the cookie set-up for my site:
Set-Cookie: GWCUID=6e4a4f798906217e; domain=.genwax.com; path=/; expires=Friday,
31-Dec-2010 14:00:00 GMT
this cookie will be returned to all pages at genwax.com since my path is set to
root.
hope this helps,
