The code you pasted is not a full program so I cannot test it. In particular, I don't see the definition of editor-cookie, so I'm not sure what it does.
The example program from the documentation [1]: #lang web-server/insta (define (start req) (define cookies (request-cookies req)) (define id-cookie (findf (lambda (c) (string=? "id" (client-cookie-name c))) cookies)) (if id-cookie (hello (client-cookie-value id-cookie)) (redirect-to (url->string (request-uri req)) see-other #:headers (list (cookie->header (make-cookie "id" "joseph")))))) (define (hello who) `(html (head (title "Hello!")) (body (h1 "Hello " ,who)))) works for me in multiple browsers. The only thing different I see is that you are using 'first' while I am using 'findf'.
