Paul,
First thing, go to the CF Administrator and go to Server > Variables. If
you're going to be using any datasources for client vars, here's where you'd
register them. You can also change the default storage mechanism for client
vars.
The next step would be to use the CLIENTSTORAGE attribute of the
<CFAPPLICATION> tag if you want to use something other than the default
storage setting.

CLIENTSTORAGE
Optional. Specifies the mechanism for storing client variables:
o datasourcename -- ColdFusion stores client variables in the
specified ODBC or native data source. To use
this option you must create a client variable
storage repository using the Variables page of
the ColdFusion Administrator.
o Registry -- ColdFusion stores client variables in the system
registry. This is the default.
o Cookie -- ColdFusion stores client variables on the client
machine in a cookie. Storing client data in a
cookie is scalable to large numbers of clients,
but this storage mechanism has some limitations.
Chief among them is that if the client turns off
cookies in the browser, client variables won't work.
