What's wrong with my URLs in ASP.NET

I just joined a team to manage a asp.net 4 website with 1000+ pages of the url format

http://www.abcdefgh.com/ShowBooks.aspx?ID=1420

but it gets changed to

http://www.abcdefgh.com/(S(sdfdsf9835fgfdjgdfgderd55)X(1))/ShowBooks.aspx?ID=1420

or

http://www.abcdefgh.com/ShowBooks.aspx?ID=1420&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1420

This I suppose is happening from a couple of months and the traffic is heavy on this site. How can I prevent this url changing from happening? I want all URLs to be of this format only:

http://www.abcdefgh.com/ShowBooks.aspx?ID=1420

I have noticed three entries in my web.config

<authentication mode="Forms">
    <forms cookieless="UseCookies" loginUrl="~/NoAccess.aspx" name="FORMAUTH"/>         
</authentication> 
<sessionState cookieless="AutoDetect"/>
<anonymousIdentification cookieless="AutoDetect" enabled="false"/>

What disadvantage will it have if I remove cookieless attribute from these URLs. WIll it break the earlier bookmarked URLs or will Google/Bing SEO be affected in any way?

Try this in your web.config

<sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="15" />

to get rid of AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport in url
