Absolutely, cookies are subject to user settings and behaviour so
unreliable, but as far as default browser behaviour goes I think IE6
keeps cookies forever, Firefox has an expiration limit of 90 days, and
my Safari 3 at least has cookies listed to expire in 2099. So it ought
to work if it's working OK in Firefox, unless your browsers are set up
to delete cookies on close?
Safari 3 has a searchable cookie viewer at Preferences > Security >
Show Cookies, might help you to work out what's going on.
