I found out what caused the problem: The SQLite database file for the
cookies (~/.config/chromium/Default/Cookies) got corrupted:

  % sqlite3 Cookies
  sqlite> select * from cookies;
  Error: database disk image is malformed

After removing the corrupted file, chromium remembers cookies once
again :)

I added a comment to [1] as requested.
