The feeling of magic only lasts until you know how it's done, and I have
seen the light.
What happens is that they use a per-session cookie, so it doesn't appear in
my temp folder. But, if per-session cookies are disabled, then it relies on
the IP address. I guess that is better than just one method, but I think I
may use the same method, but base the no-cookie method on both IP address
AND HTTP_USER_AGENT to try to make things more unique.

Interesting. If you will say me url of your web site where you are
using this outside cart probably I'll find how they do tracking.
