Hi all, I have searched the archives and although I see many questions & 
answers with regards to my question I have not found a definitive one. I do not 
want to display the CFID & CFTOKEN in my URL string.

I am running both Coldfusion MX & Coldfusion 7.

Here is a snipet of my application settings;

clientmanagement = "true"
clientstorage = "mydatabase"
setclientcookies = "true"

I am also using the following code to ensure that my tokens are renewed if the 
browser is closed

<cfif isdefined("cookie.CFID") AND isdefined("cookie.CFTOKEN")>
     <cfset localcfid = cookie.CFID>
     <cfset localtoken = cookie.CFTOKEN>
     <cfcookie name="CFID" value="#localcfid#">
     <cfcookie name="CFTOKEN" value="#localtoken#">
</cfif>

Now I think I may be confused on exactly what happens here and where my tokens 
are being stored. I thought that my server side tokens are held within my 
database and my client side tokens are held within cookies. If this is the case 
why are CFID & CFTYOKEN included in my URL? Would this behaviour be 
characteristic if cookies were disabled on the client machine (even though they 
are enabled on my test machine)?

If I cannot remove these from my URL can anybody suggest ways of masking them 
in the URL or even better a good method for encrypting the entire URL so 
nothing can be tampered with?
