A cookie is clean, however it requires extra code to clean up stuff afterwards, no?
I'm not sure what you my by "clean up stuff", although my experience with cookies is limited. I'm not setting an expiry time, so the cookie will only last until the end of the session.
Also, maybe setting the cookie fails, and then your left with nothing (or you have to build in a check and re-set it when it failed).
I'm not sure how actually setting a cookie can fail...? I'm not sure if this answers your point, but, in my test code I'm setting the cookie on the server in every request, so on every page request it is sent to the browser. Is this bad? (yes... if this was a massive cookie it wouldn't be the best move to be send it to/from the server on every request, but in my case it is a string < 20 characters long).
