If you want to hide these, you can use your own session management code to create and destroy the cfid and cftoken values above the call to cfapplication, and in OnRequestEnd.cfm.
Something like this:
<cfif isDefined('url.mysession')>
<!--- Insert code to figure out what cfid and cftoken are here --->
<cfcookie name="cftoken" value="#cftokenvalue#">
<cfcookie name="cfid" value="#cfidvalue#">
</cfif><cfapplication name="myapp" sessionmanagement="yes">
In OnRequestEnd.cfm you would do something like this:
<cfcookie name="cfid" expires="NOW"> <cfcookie name="cftoken" expires="NOW">
That still requires that you use a url variable, or a cookie, but depending on which browser your clients are using, you might be able to use <cfheader> to set a http header that gets returned by the browser. That would eliminate the need for both cookies and url variables.

You don't need to maintain connection if its just a CF site. You can browse it like any normal site. You need to maintain state for applications like login site and shopping carts. Maybe this is what he is referring to.

Thanks,
I am starting to feel a bit more confident now, however the part where you say "I think" sort of leaves me still hanging ;-))

I think your right. With no session or cookie how could the application know who you are next time you request a page. HTTP is a connectionless protocol thus the browser needs to identify itself via cookie or CFID when it requests the next page.

I almost feel silly asking this... But I have to...
This is how I think it all works (but I could be wrong and my ASP colleague could be right)...
To maintain a session the client either needs to accept a cookie or the
CFID and CFTOKEN need to be passed by the url, otherwise you can't
maintain state.. Is this correct?
My colleague thinks that you can maintain state without a cookie or passing the CFID and CFTOKEN, is he right? If so, I will shoot myself...
