There are potentially three differences.
1. Client variables may be stored in three different locations: the
registry, a database or a cookie. When stored in either of the first two,
the browser will have to return two cookies or URL variables, CFID and
CFTOKEN, to associate that browser with the Client variables stored on the
server. These two values are used as a unique key, and are not themselves
meaningful data.
2. If stored in a cookie, all client variables will be in a single "big"
cookie.
3. Client variables do expire, while your CFCOOKIE tag would create a
permanent cookie.
