Thansk for both replies.
I do not have an option to register, it would not make sense on this
kind of site. But is there not an option to save as cookie if
possible, and if cookies are not enabled then use a session ? It would
be annoying for the user to make the selection each time they visit,
so a cookie would seam like the ideal solution. But then not all have
cookies enabled, so therefore the automatic switch to session.
