Sounds like this should be changed from "insert" to "insert_or_update"
which is wrapped within a transaction with "serializable" transaction
isolation level (because we might not know if the "insert_or_update"
method is atomic)... or something along those lines without looking
at the code.

Or alternatively the failed read of old cookie and the insert of the
new cookie could be wrapped in a single "serializable" transaction.
