Would it be okay to save the same navigation data in a session (server-side) and in a cookie (client-side) so that a user whose browser allows cookies can have the same advantages that one whose browser is?
The only difference would be that, while the user whose browser allows cookies can log weeks later and have he’s navigation information remembered (language, etc.), the other only would be as long as his browser is not closed, right?
As a generality (meaning you could fudge it if you wanted), if you use sessions it has to put a cookie on the user’s computer so the correct session can be pulled up, so there really wouldn’t be an advantage. If they allow cookies, they can have a session.
