How to handle problems when cookies are not enabled

Post by explicit »

Hi to everyone,

How do You handle situations when user dont allow cookies ?

Is it bad practice to ask cookies enabled for whole site (for guests and registered users), because like that
we can easy track registered and unregistered users, or login implementation would be easier (captcha also) ...

I mean I really dont like to use SID in url :D

If you dont want session IDs in the URLs (and i dont blame you) your only option is to require cookies. It's not at all uncommon to require cookies to access a site, and in my opinion not a bad practice.
