GD,
This may be a dumb question but is there a reason you can't use cookies?
If you were to use cookies, you can just use an include file that checks
for cookies on each page. Not sure if that's the best way but it may be
something that offers you the functionality as well as a much leaner
method than the Dreamweaver code.
