Partly true on closer inspection. You are correct in that you must pass the
variables through the url string - I was mistaken in thinking that the
session would persist without doing that.
The cfid and cftoken are stored in the session struct however (but I don't
know what they are doing there...).
I must admit I haven't used session variables for years and some of my
previous assumptions that I thought were true are faulty. Thanks for
straightening me out!

Hmm, I don't think that's true either.
Setting setclientcookies to "no" means that any links must have the
CFID and CFTOKEN in place in order to maintain persistence. So if I go
to "index.cfm?cfid=1&cftoken=2" and then close the browser window, my
session should still be active. Therefore, if I open another browser
window, I should be able to go back to index.cfm with the same cfid and
cftoken, and my session should still be active, provided I go there
before the session expiry date as stated in the <cfapplication> tag or
in the administrator.
