There is a simple reason for avoiding cookies: users can (and do) reject them. Therefore, they are not a reliable method of maintaining a session. Sure, you can put a sign on the front door that says "cookies required", but some people will actually choose not to enter (which I don't want).
Sure, but in my experience I realiized that is a very small number of users and what they mostly reject is persistent cookies. You do not need persistent cookies. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos
