What happens if the user is running software that blocks the sending of the referring page? The user will NEVER be able to access any pages on the site except the home page! Since the browser sends the referrer, this is a very bad idea. The session variable idea is better, but if the user chooses not to accept cookies from the site, that's out the window as well, and you'll wind up with the same problem of not being able to access any other pages on the site except the home page. You'd have to pass the cfid and cftoken in the URL to make this work correctly.
