I can agree with this. I created an internal website for my company that
requires login. And even then some users a restricted to certain areas of
the website depending on their user level. Passing the $_SESSION variables
around was just plain easier than setting up cookies. I also felt I had a
greater control over the whole process from login to logout.
Instead of passing the session_id through the URL ($_GET) just assign it
to $_SESSION and pass that around. Then it'll stay transparent to the
user.
