texte = James,I think many people here have probably built such sites with WebDNA.

I have used both, and generally prefer cookies. With cookies, you can build in time-limited cookies, which do away with the problem of logging out; and you can set long-term cookies, that do away with authentication disappearing when the browser quits, as well as providing a means for showing "log in" links for members. Also, you can have multiple cookies, such as a general user cookie, a super-administrator cookie, a reduced-power admin cookie, etc.The drawback to cookies, _and please someone steer me if things have changed in the past couple of years_, is that you can't protect a directory of say, images. You can't slap a [showif [cookie member]=t][/showif] on an image or entire directory, the way you can with page content.
