[thelist] Logins and cookies

So, I have a site which will have a login ability on it.  Rather than asking
for the login each time, I'm thinking of the first time they log in, I write
a cookie away, then read that on subsequent visits.  If the cookie is not
available or cookies are disabled, then the site will revert to asking for
the login info each and every time.

I assume this is the best way, but I also assume I'm missing something (that
will no doubt cause me to break down in tears at a later date).  Any advice?
