Pros of Cookies
1) stateful DA urls are bookmarkable without junk in them
2) people love to send eachother URLs and nothing sucks worse than when they don't understand that it's a huge security risk to include your session id


Cons of Cookies
1) opening multiple windows on your app is a lot more annoying because they will share the same set of cookies (so you can't easily login as two different people in dev mode)
2) if you have any issues with host names (you probably have other problems if this is the case), you can lose your cookies if the host name changes on you

What are the benefits of using SessionIDs in cookies over WebObjects' default sessionID in URL strategy?
