It's quite possible that somone could "force" cookies to you- the
browser has complete control over them after all. They could simply figure
out what a session-id looks like and set up a robot to hit your site and
throw bogus cookies out. It's not reliable in that it can be faked out.
For what you want to track, you should be OK unless someone
deliberately wanted to skew your stats. If you're paying someone based on
these figures though, beware...
There might be other reasons too, but this is what I immediately
thought of.
