Non-persistent cookies are cookies in any way. So if cookies are disabled, it includes disabling all types of cookies i.e locking the browser out of writing any data to the main memory or the file system.

However if you wish to store session information you can use cookie less sessions, which obviously use the alternative of adding a session key to the address.

Answer 3

No. What the browsers do with your cookie is up to them. You can only offer them one, not dictate what they do with it.

My browser is set up to ask me if I want to accept cookies, and if I want to I can override their expiration to browser exit.
