Perhaps they are duplicating the old IE bug where having a time, but not a
valid path, would make the time element ignored.

Change your code to this:
setcookie('sesvar', 'this session only', 0, "/",
"www.mypersonaldomain.net");

Older IE versions let you have time *AND* path, or neither, but not just
time.
