As long as you pass cfid and cftoken in every link, just like with
session variables. :)

Sure, but like I said. You are at the mercy of the host if it's not
your machine. I have mine set to die in one day.

If they don't have cookies enabled, then I believe a new cfid and
cftoken will be created on every click since CF won't know that it's
the same person clicking. Even if you pass cfid and cftoken, it's
only going to be good until they leave the site. Next visit they will
be given a NEW cfid and cftoken.
So to summarize, as long as they have cookies enabled and come back
before the client variables are deleted from the database, then yes,
your method will work. If they don't have cookies enabled or come
back after the data is purged, it won't.
