User Cookie Data
User cookie data is essentially what you are used to with a webbrowser, but stored server side. The benefits of storing this data server side include the ability to have them persist across different computers. This means when a user logs in from home and work, the experience will be the same.
The big difference between a user cookie and a browser cookie, is that a user cookie requires an authenticated session.... meaning no anonymous preferences are supported. Note: you are not forced to choose one or the other, so you can mix and match each solution to fit your requirements.
