There are two main approaches. There are cookies as you mention, and there
is passing the information around as part of the request. The most common
form of passing the information around in the request is encoding it
somewhere in the URL but it can also be done with arguments of post. The
advantage of using cookies, is that you can keep track of the shopping cart
even when traversing pages that don't know about the shopping cart
application and don't pass the information along. The disadvantage is that
people can (and do) turn of cookies and they can't order from your system.
