Re: [IxDA Discuss] Websites that remember you

It's pretty basic but http://www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk remembers your speed test results using a combination of cookie and IP address matching. It doesn't have a 'tier 3' log in though. eBay has a "My eBay for guests" function if you're not logged in. Don't know how long it persists. . . . . .
