First off, passing session data on the URL should NEVER be done in my opinion. 
Especially the old integer, guessable, repeatable CFID and CFTOKEN.  You are 
just open the door to session highjacking and cross site scripting attacks. 
Plus if someone bookmarks a URL with that session data they will "steal" that 
sessionID if it is in use by someone else when they come back to the site. It 
can happen. I've seen it happen.

You should enable J2EE Session variables. This will set a session cookie that 
will expire at the end of the session. 

If you do not want CFID and CFTOKEN cookies at all then you should disable 
clientmanagement and clientcookies in you application.cfm/cfc file.
