Yes, cookies are the right way to identify anonymous users.  If you 
create a new User record for uncookied anonymous users, and then cookie 
them with the id of that User record, you'll be able to track their 
activity.  That User record will be associated with anything they do on 
the site.  If later they sign up and provide you with their identity, 
you simply record that on the User record, and nothing else has to be 
affected.
