I'm not familiar with geolocation services using cookies - mainly because a 
cookie is something sent to your computer by the server, so the server would 
have to know where you are before it could send you the cookie containing any 
location information.

Geolocation normally works based on your public IP address, and linking that 
to various databases of ISPs and their coverage areas.

Can you give us an example of one you have tried and found this problem with?

Is there any difference in your outbound public IP address when you go direct, 
or via the proxy?
