cookieless

We're creating a new consumer/public-facing ASP.Net web app. There are two concerns:

--Use cookie or cookieless forms authentication?

--If we decide not to use cookies at all, how would you store the data that would otherwise be stored in the cookie (Customer ID, AffiliateID, etc.). Does the ASP.Net authentication framework track something like CustomerID?
