 The ruleset for *.tweakers.net doesn't enforce https for the subdomain
 awards.tweakers.net. Combined with the securecookie rule this causes the
 session-id cookie to be overwritten with a new one for a not-logged-in
 session.

 It probably is best to just be less specific wrt subdomains:

 <rule from="^http://([a-z]+\.)?tweakers\.net/"
         to="https://$1tweakers.net/" />

 Also the exclusion rule for crossdomain.xml might not be necessary
 anymore, but I haven't checked that yet.
