Um, you sure about that?
The code below works fine here:

<?php
session_start();

if (! isset($_GET['refresh'])) {
setcookie('foo','Bar');
$_SESSION['foo'] = 'Bar';
header('Location:'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?refresh=1');
} else {
echo 'page refreshed';
echo '<br />Session foo: '.$_SESSION['foo'];
echo '<br />Cookie foo: '.$_COOKIE['foo'];
}
?>

maybe the OP is outputting something (whitespace etc) prior to the
redirection?

cheers
