Don't use cookies.

I can't think of many reasons why you'd really need them, for a
competently authored site, delivered on CD. There are a _few_ reasons,
generally based on making persistent user choices or recording state.
Most of the "traditional" cookie reasons though only make sense with a
server-based process, or they're somewhat dubious anyway (such as
storing font size choices in a cookie).
