Like luismgz asked, isn't that exactly what sessions do? Once they go over the cookie size, they create an account. Now you have to store some information in your database (a username, a cart pointing to that username, items pointing to that cart) - it doesn't matter if they're in their own tables or serialized. And then for the user to say on each request that "I am user X" you set a cookie that has some mapping to a user ID, right? Which is exactly what a session is, right? I'm not trying to troll, I'm honestly curious here. Am I missing something?
