Sessions would be better unless the user asks for "remember me on this computer" thing which needs to be handled with cookies.

nobody is discussing server load. Both are equally good in their own application.
Having thousands of "sessions" can take a hit on the server. Cookies would be better for a long term usage.

isn't it better if you use both..? cookies for the user not to log-in again and again.. sessions for you to keep a record of the user's log-in information..
