What we were discussing are not really sites I would suggest that the vast majority of e-commerce applications track everything through the server. All the cookie typically contains is a session number, which is effectively a file name for the file containing the session data on the server (although it is more likely to be in memory or on a database). Both ASP and the one that generates the dead Javascript links to a null fragment on the same page only store session IDs client side. In fact, one strategy for doing without cookies is more likely to store client side, as it uses hidden form fields.
