( in which case you probably don't know what a cookie is anyway ).

We couldn't figure it out for the longest time. Turns out that we used only a few cookies (maybe 5), but we used several of Telerik's widgets which each one of them would create a cookie to save it's state. Some of the cookie's values were really long which when all summed up was causing the earlier cookies (ie the session id) to get truncated.
