Force Cookie Use

[yaritai]

I was wondering if somebody could explain exactly what enabling "Force Cookie Use" does? (Admin -> Configuration -> Sessions - Force Cookie Use).
What exactly are the advantages and disadvantages?
When is it recommended to enable, when is it not?

Use google to search within zencart for topics on that setting.

Bascially the only times I was forced to switch this to TRUE was in cases where site links were posted online with the "zenid" attached. When this happens ALL customers who use that link will share the same shopping cart which can make the cart look unprofessional when items are in there that were not added. So by switching it to true it avoids having the issue above happen.

Thanks, I did a Google search and came up with this:

According to this, it sounds like the best option is to enable "Force Cookie Use", provided that SSL and the site is setup properly.

Im wondering if some of the experts here can agree about that?
