Your options are cookies, database or registry. You can only store flat strings so complex data needs to be encoded/decoded on every request (performance). Cookies are intrusive and limited in size - Jupiter research estimate as many as 40% of users delete some or all cookies so they're not very reliable anyway. It also adds to the size of every request and response so it can slow down page rendering. Taking a database hit on every page can be a performance hit (and, again, the DB table limits the size of the encoded client variable). There's also the client variable expiry skimmer which hits your database on a schedule looking for expired stuff to delete. The registry is not a good place to store rapidly changing data and on non-Windows systems is slow since it's simulated anyway. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
