numero = 52499

texte = Outside of cookies, the only other way is to pass the cart as a formvariable from page to page like so: with form method "post" Not all browsers will handle formvariables correctly, particularly if the user hits the back button in their browser. John Peacock mentioned a while back that he was having problems with cookies not handled properly on the ssl side, so he uses a combination of cookies on non-ssl pages and formvariables on ssl pages if I remember correctly.
