In this case I would recommend not relying on session, but rolling your own
solution. Store an ID in viewstate or something on every page, be sure to
pass it along from page to page. Store your data somehow indexed by this ID,
so that then you can get it any time.

I agree that it is not unreasonable to require your site to only function
properly with cookies enabled. Either that, or give up the ability to
bookmark on favorites. People can't have their cake and eat it too. They
can't go nuts with security and turn everything off - and then expect the
same level of functionality.
