If you can't rely on cookies, then the only way to maintain a session is 
passing the cfid and cftoken (or jsessionid if you are using jsessions) in 
the url.  The server needs some kind of way to determine who's sending the 
request in order to associate the client with the proper session on the 
server.  Even if you are using cookies, someone could change their cookie 
values and try to hack a session that way.

I'm not a security expert by a long shot, hopefully someone else may chime 
in.
