Re: Q: for those who use Cookies for sessions?

texte = Donovan, I take the simple approach. I assume everyone has cookies enabled. If not, there's text telling them they have to be enabled. For the fraction of a percent of people that don't want to turn on cookies, they'll just have to email me if they want to buy something. Check out one of my sites at http://www.terryfic.com/photo/ and try the cart to see how I have it set up.
