You can lead them to a page where you politly suggest they turn on their cookies just for your site
and why.
I would suggest using cookies only for the "convenience" of having their login information
survive from session to session and use PHP
Sessions for management of a particular visit.
That said, I admit to having a cookie only site and have had absolutly no problems with my users
figuring out they must have cookies
enabled. However, I intend to add PHP Sessions to this site for those who like to log out after
every session. Most like having their login
information remembered via cookies.
