How To Track Sessions Reliably WITHOUT Session IDs In URLs!?

[nobsseo]

Hi Guys,

I've searched through 100+ posts about session IDs and how to handle sessions without using session ids in URLs. The answers i have found are:

- Don't use session IDs on "public" pages that you want indexed by Google

- Use cookies instead to track session IDs

I get the feeling cookies are not reliable. I am looking for WAYS to reliably track user sessions without putting session IDs in URLS...

If you have a solid, reliable way to track sessions without using cookies or session IDs in URLs, please list it below:

(THANKS!)

I use PHP sessions on my ecommerce site. It holds all user data in a file on the server. These files are automotically deleted after a pre-set period of inactivity, and also emptied as the last step of a customer checkout.

See PHP sessions [us3.php.net]

Hope this helps
