Description
Web Light appears not to allow cookies at all, which can cause ids to change on every page view.
Passing values via querystring is a potential option to look into for handling this behaviour.

Research direction
Investigate Web Light's lack of cookies and read the linked discussion first. Compare identifier behavior across page views, then evaluate passing values through the query string; done means identifiers remain stable when cookies are unavailable.
