Am I right in saying that using the database as the Client Storage method,
if the user doesn't have Cookies enabled it will still work? (i.e. pull
client's token from database, and client. variables).  Or am I way off the
mark?

But why would you need to allow them to keep them longer?  If you set a
reasonably satisfactory limit (7 days seems fine to me), then the database
doesn't clog up, and 7 days is long enough.

Could the same not be done with Database Client Storage means?  To me it
seems the best way - I don't have any figures on Cookie usage at hand
(anyone?) but some people are scared of the cookie monster, even nowadays.
