Session variables don't store with Internet Explorer 9

Question

I am trying to pass a session variable from one page to another using this code in asp.net:

HttpContext.Current.Session["FacebookID"] = id;

This works just fine with Firefox and Chrome, but when I try to grab that value from another page in Internet Explorer 9 it won't work, I even tried it in compatibility mode. It just returns null.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why my session variables won't store?

check if the session has the same key name. – Nudier Mena Jul 22 '12 at 18:58 — Nudier Mena, Jul 22 '12 at 18:58

Have you got Cookies turned off in IE? If so, it wont be able to track your session unless you change the session state to cookieless...

I see you have got an answer but for anyone else who has the same the problem:
It may be a Privacy Preferences (P3P) issue. In that case you have to add a P3P header, something like...

HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("p3p", "CP=\"IDC DSP COR ADM DEVi TAIi PSA PSD IVAi IVDi CONi HIS OUR IND CNT\"");
