Session variables and Client variables have their advantages and
disadvantages,
session variables are held in the ram and do not persist between sessions
whereas client variables can, client variables cannot hold complex datatypes
without
using perhaps wddx or xml to turn the complex data type into a string,
session variables MUST BE locked. I dont think one method is better than the
other
but if you use client variables do not store them in the registry(default)
and if you use
session variables make sure you lock them.
One thing to be clear of is that coldfusion server USES cfid and cftoken to
find the correct session variables (in RAM )so the only way to have session
variables is if the cfid and cftoken are on the url or stored in cookies
theses are the only 2 ways!
Hope that helps

Kola,
Is for a public website so i can't force toswitch on cookies.
The only way is by cookies or by url?
What about session variables (session.cfid)?
Many problems about session variables?
