Application variables

Hi,

What is the best way to maintain a value across multiple pages. I could of
course send the value by URL request, but I feel there should be a better
way.
Is the Session object the right way to go about it?

What I want is for the User to select a setting on the first page and then
this setting should be stored somewhere for the duration of the visit.

Thanks,
Philip
