>From how I understand things, cookies are just for transportation (inside HTPP header) and have nothing to do with persistence of sessions. If you don't wont to use cookies, and are not afraid of getting your sessions hijacked , you can put your session ID into the URL.
Take a look at yaws_session_server.erl, which is responsible for sessions. You could write your own version with the persistent storage of your preference (e.g. mnesia) instead of ets tables. I actually started to do that myself for my specific needs.

Thanks for your reply. I'm using yaws as a front-end to a game server
and need to track the number of client requests made on the same
persistent connection as well as other state info pertaining to the
connection. The protocol I'm attempting does not trust the web
client, so I can not rely on any session info sent by the client. All
I really need to do is to be able to store some state data each time
a request is handled by the same worker process - I attempted to do
this using the process dictionary but unfortunately yaws appears to
clear it between requests (I have verified that the same worker
process pid is handling the connection). Is there some way to do the
above?
Cheers,
Jason.

The same socket would be used no? The arg contains a socket ref.
