You can ask the sessions to use URL variables if the user will not allow cookies, and this just adds the session ID to the URL of the page (not sure how this goes for POST forms?). Also, I think the session itself is not just in memory but also in a small cookie-like file on the server, at least I know it is for Windows, not sure how Linux or Mac OS handles the sessions. Generally, as long as it works for me, I don't ask too many questions! I don't want it to realise it shouldn't work and then stop!
