There are options (and/or js libraries) which force the saving of said information on the client PC (which has been getting very popular as of late), but without HTML 5, cookies are the only way to achieve this. To my knowledge, there are no other ways of doing this. | |

but you can't always count on the client being able to save cookies then AFAIK, you can't count on sessions, either. Aren't cookies used to identify which session belongs to which user, or are there other methods and that's simply the most common?
