CF cookies are not session cookies.  They are stored permanently to reduce
the number of records in your client storage database.  If you want to use
session cookies, you have to do it yourself.

<cfapplication .. setclientcookies="false" ... />
<cfcookie name="cfid" value="#client.cfid#" />
<cfcookie name="cftoken" value="#client.cftoken#" />

  Dennis,
  This does not explain why CF session cookies are not perceived as session
  cookies by IE.

  And I do append URL variables to maintain session state when cookies are
not
  accepted.   However, it seems that a number of developers, CF and others,
are
  lazy and require Users to enable cookies to use their sites.  I choose to
buy
  from competitors in this case.

    �The Web is stateless�

    In order for the server to recognize the client on each request you MUST
    tell the server who you are.  Technically there are two common ways to
    maintain session state on the web.  Use appended URL variables or
cookies.
    When you use any session, application or client variable CF it
automatically
    tries to set it�s own cookies (CFID / CFTOKEN) to maintain state.  If
you
    completely disable cookies in the web browser then the CF server
application
    must use some other method, usually appending the URL variables (CFID /
    CFTOKEN).
