Does Aida require cookies on the client to be able to track a session
or is it able to track it on the server side in the absence of
cookies?

Yes, cookies are currently needed to track sessions, otherwise a new
session is created for every request (like in case of web crawlers).

Once Aida had a possibility to automatically add session id to query
part of url, but this was depreciated because Urls were not RESTfull
anymore.

Another new HTML5 possibility would be to store session id into
browser's sessionStore instead. This one has additional advantage that
is per tab, not per browser as cookies are. Tab isolation between
sessions is therefore achieved as well.

Best regards
Janko
