When setting the cookie from server, it would require that you
reload the page. http://in2.php.net/setcookie

Why are you trying to read a cookie with an <img> tag? That doesn't
make any sense.

It does. An HTTP request is an HTTP request, it doesn't matter if the
return is an HTML page or an image. If for example there's an image-
generating script, there might also be the need for reading some cookie
value, maybe the preferred image size or something like that.
In my own case some images can be delivered by a script from a protected
directory. Authentication is handled with a cookie-based session, so the
request for such an image _must_ contain the session cookie or the image
won't be delivered, because the authentication fails.

I am tracking how many users from my site visited one of my partner
site and signed up there. AFAIK, I do not have another way of finding
this out. I do not think it is an issue with authentication because
the code works if the user agent is firefox/ opera/ chrome.

Are both of these sites in the same domain?
This type of failure is usually caused by a higher security setting in
IE than the others.

Check the status bar--if it's been denied by the policy settings.
Probably your domain name or cookie name might be a trouble. Also, try
setting P3P policy header http://www.sitepoint.com/print/p3p-cookies-ie6/
