That is correct.  The cookies are used for server side sessions.

Another of the (probably infinite) ways to make things not work is to
do this:

  <form>
    <al-input ...>
  </form>

Since the __albstate__ functionality is implemented in the <al-form>
tag your client side sessions will never make it to the browser.
