Can user preferences override a Session variable?

[braseth]

Can a user have set an preferences in their browser that would prevent a
session from being set by my application? I'm using the same methods I always
use in CFMX 6 to set and check for sessions. But I have a user whose session is
not being set, and thus CF throws an error.

<CFAPPLICATION NAME="myApp" SESSIONMANAGEMENT="yes" SETCLIENTCOOKIES="no"
SESSIONTIMEOUT="#createTimeSpan(0,0,30,0)#">

<CFSET session.user_id="#CGI.REMOTE_USER#">

(my company has a local security system that makes a credential available as a
CGI variable.)

Are cookies tuned off for that user?

Sessions need cookies to work.
