Assuming your server is smart enought to indicate the variance of the
reply via the Vary header when the same HTTP requests results in
different data depending on the request headers (i.e. Cookie header)
then Squid-2.5 will do just fine.
If you don't then there will be a big mess as Squid can not magically
guess that your server are looking into the cookie to determine how
to reply to the user..
