Cookies are not very secure now, are they? Lets say I was going to let the user be logged in, and I wanted that to persist... So I would do.. Client.userId=123456
Now, the user has no way to change that... Now, lets say I store it in the cookie... <Cfcookie name="userId" value="123456"> Now, the user can examine their cookies and know their userid. Worse, they can change the userid, and be logged in as a different user.

What benefit do they really offer? The only time I could see using them is when you had something that you might think about storing in a cookie. I rarely come across a need like that where I dont really want a cookie, and if I do I usually just store it in the session. Am I missing something there?
