After all without a cookie, there is no way to remember anything in the browser. Sure there is. Now are there in fact storage methods the website can access other than cookies to determine who you are?
You didn't specify server access, just that the browser can remember something for a site. The others aren't readily accessible by a website but I don't see why it couldn't be done with CGI, maybe along with HTTP POST or GET. That's not to say anyone is doing it but they could.
And do any of them work if you actually enabled deleting cookies on close?
Yes, data saved using some of the other methods isn't erased when cookies and data are cleared. https://css-tricks.com/a-primer-on-the-different-types-of-browser-storage/ -- Scott
