Unfortunately I can't, because I am unable to reproduce the problem you 
describe.

When I load my test page in the browser, then replace it with something 
else by entering an address in the address bar and pressing return, then 
use the back link followed by the reload one, I am back at my test page 
with the original cookie value.

Of course, this is using my cookie etc code and mechanisms, and not 
yours ....

Now, either it's an issue in your python implementation of cookie 
handling which isn't happening in my implementation, or it's something to 
do with the way that your system passes data around (cgi) that doesn't 
happen in mine (mod_wsgi), or it's happening in the browser you're 
testing in, but not in my browser.

Have you checked the cookie jar in the browser to see what value the 
cookie has? Is that the value you think it should have? Note that 
checking the cookie jar is a browser topic, not a python topic, so if you 
don't know how to do that you're going to have to find the right place to 
ask, WHICH IS NOT HERE!

Ideally you need to check what the server thinks it's setting the cooking 
to, what the browser thinks it received as the cookie, and what the 
server gets back afterwards to work out where the error is happening.
