I wouldnt rely on cookies or standard sessions (which use cookies) as a
means of security.
You can use sessions, but make sure you have the
ini_alter("session.use_cookies", "0");
so that no cookies are used for the session id. This means you'll have to
pass the session id in the querystring or post of each page.
