Sessions, only sessions. You can have security hole here. If user
know values for cookies he can set it without logging.

First of all, check FF and Opera. I think this is IE problem -
sometimes it's lost cookies. It can be difference in understanding
cookie path and site, it can be cookie limit by count or size or
something else. In any case then user is logged you must use session
instead of set of cookies.
