Are you using Chrome and opening the file by double clicking/right clicking instead of using an actual webserver?

yup

Chrome will only save cookies for "real" websites, it won't work if you're just opening a file. If you want to open files like that you can use FireFox or download a webserver to host the files from for Chrome.
