There is a work around for this issue:

If you have access to your php.ini, you can change the cookie name from the
default  PHPSESSID to something else.

   Before: session.name = PHPSESSID

  After: session.name = DRUPALSESSID

This will cause all your users to be issued new cookies, that should be
working,
and the old cookie will be ignored.

If you do not have access to php.ini, you can do this in .htaccess
  php_value session.name 'DRUPALSESSID'

Or in settings.php:
  ini_set('session.name',  'DRUPALSESSID');

This depends on whether your host allows the setting of this variable or
not, but
it is sure worth a try.

We've decided to look for someone to assist in resolving this issue. We're
