<DIV><SPAN class=336212705-08062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope this question
does not repeat earlier ones: I have looked and could not find the same question
on the list previously...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=336212705-08062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I understand that
OpenCms treats every visitor not signed in as Guest. So logging out in fact
entails logging in as Guest.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=336212705-08062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also notice that
browsing an OpenCms website (e.g. the demo pages) as Guest does not set any
cookies.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=336212705-08062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is great news
for SEO: no need to artificially get rid of the JSESSIONID (or similar) part of
the URL!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=336212705-08062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>But if the Guest
activity is not stateful then does that mean I cannot set session variables per
Guest user? This is a major problem for us because we need to track a Source ID
(from a banner ad) through our site until the visitor starts an application for
one of our products. At that point and thereafter the Source ID is dealt with by
the form framework.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=336212705-08062006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is anyone doing
something similar? Can anyone provide some suggestions?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
