Login with Splinter is not setting document.cookie

Question

I want to login to a https web page using Splinter. However, it seems that cookies are not set when I login. Here is my code:

from splinter import Browser
import time

username = 'blabla'
password = 'blabla'

with Browser('chrome') as browser:
    browser.visit("https://the.login.page")

    browser.fill('p_username', username)
    browser.fill('p_password', password)
    browser.find_by_css('.button').first.click()

    time.sleep(2)

    browser.visit('https://other.page.after.login')

I get to the other page, but I am not logged in.

browser.cookies.all() is not empty, and it correctly contains my SESSIONID value. But...
document.cookie (in the browser console) is empty.

Am I doing something wrong?

I also tried using selenium and I get the same result:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

username = 'blabla'
password = 'blabla'

browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get('https://the.login.page')
time.sleep(2)

username_field = browser.find_element_by_name("p_username")
password_field = browser.find_element_by_name("p_password")
username_field.send_keys(username)
password_field.send_keys(password)

login_attempt = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@type='submit']")
login_attempt.submit()
time.sleep(2)
browser.get('https://other.page.after.login')

Just to debut it: what if you increase the sleep to, say 20, seconds - does that make any difference? — alecxe, Feb 19 '16 at 16:14
are both pages on the same domain? remember, the cookies are usually per domain — timbre timbre, Feb 19 '16 at 23:20
@KurtBourbaki Can you include in your post the Set-Cookie response headers when you login using a normal browser? — Blaise, Mar 21 '20 at 10:02
