It is in their database, and that's going to be the case whether or
not they use cookies. You don't get a choice about the information
amazon stores about you. If you don't like that, take it up with
amazon.
Amazon is one of the few sites that comes close to getting this
right. The site mostly works if you turn off cookies. If they used
HTTP authentication, though, it would work 100%.
