Cookies inside/outside Codeigniter

it probably has something to do with the folder structure...

if your CI part is in site.com/ci/controller/method/var

then the cookie path was probably set as ci/ and you are trying to access a cookie with a default path of /

if you use firefox go to Privacy-> show cookies and search for your site and see where the cookie is actually at

just my guess..
