HTTPCookieProcessor not serving cookies

I am trying to access a website that requires cookies. Using urllib2 and cookielib I am able to get a response from the site. The HTML printout informs me that I am not getting access with the line: 

<h2>Cookies Disabled</h2>
<p> class="share-prompt"><strong>Cookies must be enabled.</strong></p>

I cannot understand where I am going wrong. Code below:

import urllib2, cookielib

cookieJar = cookielib.CookieJar()
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http':"http://216.208.156.69:3128"}),urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cookieJar))
request = urllib2.Request("[website]")
response = opener.open(request)

print response.read()

Can anyone see where I have gone wrong?

Cheers,

The code looks good. For example the output from this

import urllib, urllib2, cookielib

cookieJar = cookielib.CookieJar()
opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(cookieJar))
params = urllib.urlencode({'cookie_name': 'cookie_value'})
request = urllib2.Request('http://httpbin.org/cookies/set?' + params)
opener.open(request)
request = urllib2.Request('http://httpbin.org/cookies')
response = opener.open(request)
print response.read()

is 

{
  "cookies": {
    "cookie_name": "cookie_value"
  }
}

Without showing us the url you use not much can be done.
