Thansk for both replies.
I do not have an option to register, it would not make sense on this
kind of site. But is there not an option to save as cookie if
possible, and if cookies are not enabled then use a session ? It would
be annoying for the user to make the selection each time they visit,
so a cookie would seam like the ideal solution. But then not all have
cookies enabled, so therefore the automatic switch to session.

If people can't log in, _and_ have cookies switched off, how would your
server know who's who at their next visit? For sessions to work in a
helpful manner you'd still have to be able to retrieve some unique data
from the client identifying them at each new visit.
I don't think it's too much asked from visitors to allow cookies for
your domain if they want to enjoy the luxury of having their preferences
kept across visits.
