        I don't believe that's correct. Perhaps he meant to say 'cookies'.

          maybe. ya. I also think like that. but actually, cookieless works in IE with high security.. What the interviewer said might be wrong.

            I think the only alternative is having Cookieless Sessions which is not recommended because it's more open to session hijacking.

              The Session is maintained on the server however, it has a pointer cookie (SessionID) stored, which might be disabled due to high security settings of web browser.

                Also, the URL becomes very unfriendly with strange characters. Isn't it?

                      Setting the Browser security high will restrict executing Javascript, Activex control, Cookies. Keeping the security Medium and allowing Cookies to be stored in the machine is harmless. Cookies are not bad programs to harm the system. It's a piece of info which is used to have a session with the server. So If the user is so concious about his system security let him have the firewall enabled and anti-virus installed. Even after doing this if he still needs more security by having the browser security high then let him not access your site. This is the only solution If the browser security is high. Because I would not recommend anyone to develop a site with cookieless session which would be failure eventually.
