Sessions themselves use cookies, though, right? So, if you want your app to work for those who don't have cookies, you have to pass the session data in the url string, at least that's my understanding. With sessions, its only the session ID that is put in the cookie or url string. The session data stays on the server (usually in a file in /tmp). Its more secure than putting your data out to the client browser where it could be altered before being returned.
