You can have the code to read and write the cookie on the same page.  
Logical example:
  
  IF cookie exits on the user machine THEN
      Read the Cookie
  ELSE
      Check to see if Cookies are accepted using JavaScript Code
      IF Cookies are enabled THEN
           Write the cookie to the user machine
      END IF
  END IF

   Were your cookie setting set to "Overide automatic cookie handling?"

   Yes

>>You are most likely writing a Browser Session Cookie.  These cookies operate the same except for two things:  They expire when the browser is closed and they are never written to you computer, they are stored in memory.  Please provide your code where you are writing the cookie.
