Sessions, cookies and remember me function

[delia]

I know this question takes zen cart backwards in security but I have a customer who wants his customers automatically logged in when they access the site. We are using this as a showcase site with the wishlist contribution and not accepting money through the site at all. This customer says he will pay to have this done so I'm willing to pay for assistance to get this done but of course don't want to open up a can of security worms for the customer either.

I have no experience writing cookies and suspect you probably can't have both sessions and cookies at the same time. Is there someone who can enlighten me as to the possibilities here?

If you cannot buy any items in the cart, why do customers need to be logged in? just set the shopping cart up as a showcase and that's that.

we're using the wishlist contribution so that the cart owner can get the information and return quotes to the customer so it's not just a showcase.
