curl does not know how to run javascript code, so you need to work around
that fact somehow.

What I've ended up doing multiple times, is to really check out the
javascript that sets the cookie (I've found sites that verifies that that
javascript "works" by using it to set a cookie and then check that the
cookie arrives) and then emulate its behavior.

I usually use perl to scan the received data and then I can extract the
cookie contents from the javascript file and set it "manually".
