Default Passing value without using sessions

Hi

I'm testing out a way to maintain state across web pages using a value held in a database. I'm new to this. Once a user logs in, a value is drawn from a database and held on the page. When a user click to new page the value is passed on to allow access.

Is there anyway I can do this without using a query string?

Any info gratefully received.

If you are not using session variables, then following are some of the possible solutions:

One solution could be passing values by hidden fields.
Another way could be storing client side cookies.

But the limitations are that they are not secure.
