What is the best way based on experience to create, store and retrieve a
unique ID?

The method I have been using requires the setting of a cookie, then checking
for it when the user comes back.  Is this the best way, also what's the best
type of information to store in that cookie.  Some sort of CFID & CFTOKEN,
or should I come up with some other method.  I don't mind storing the
information in a Database table also, and the idea is to then be able to use
it as sort of a unique key for returning visitors/users.  I trigger all of
this with the Application.cfm right now, is that also the best or should I
do it somewhere else, like a CFINCLUDE into the Application.cfm

TIA!
