The Profiles function passes a cookie to each visitor and stores a
corresponding value in the database to match up the profiles.
If the user refuses cookies, the profile settings are kept only for the
session and disappears when the user closes the browser.
There's an article here on Personalization and profiles:

I'm looking for a way to get a unique identification from
users who visit my website.
I thought getting visitor's computer name is not a bad idea,
But I noticed Profiles in ASP.Net 2, I'm curious how does
profile recognize each visitor?
Does it uses cookies? If yes, what if visitor disables cookies?
TIA for your response
