I'm not clear on what you are expecting to have happen with cookies. However, you might try this:

$ch = curl_init('http://localhost/setc.php?userid=123&panelid=1');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
// get headers too with this line
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, '/tmp/cookies.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, '/tmp/cookies.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, 'cookiename=cookievalue');
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
