$_COOKIE is (IMO) not an alternative to $_SESSION, as cookies can be edited by the user at will. to do that with sessions is way harder. besides, session content is not exposed to the outside world (cookies are transferred with every HTTP Request/Response).

your own session handling: see session_set_save_handler()
