People are too afraid of cookies. >.> How many times have you been in trouble because you stored a cookie, really? Yeah, I think that sessions work better for this, but let's not be so paranoid about cookies. Nothing is 100% secure, especially when it's about the web.
My suggestion: make the cookies last only a few days. Maybe even just one. Give the player the option, if you want. Or let them choose whether they want to use cookies or not. And if they don't want to choose to store cookies, then a session will be created for them.
Isn't that better? You give the player the control. And if something bad happens, you are not blamed for it.
