Wicked problem. Congratulations on finding it.

URL rewriting requires less from the client. If you can, you could make an
adaptable solution that tries first with cookies and then escalates to
URL-rewriting. Probably more complex that way, though, and if you have to
do URL-rewriting anyway, I don't see that anything is gained by relying on
cookies for anything.

I normally browse with cookies disabled, and only when I encounter a
problem on a web-site to I engage cookies. I then usually note that as a
cookies-required site, if I intend to return.
