On our work intranet site, when a user logs on is says Welcome username. If I go to another page, it will also say welcome username, however, no data is being passed using get as there's no search string and if I press F5, I don't get the "this page can not be redisplayed without reposting the data" message in IE. So how is the data passed to the other page? Is it readin the session from the server instead, or is there a way to suppress the above dialog?

I can't post any code because I don't administer our intranet so I don't have any access to the files, but I know that sessions are definitely being used. My question is, how does the info get passed from one page to the other without using get or post?
The data could either be:
1) in a cookie which is read from page to page or
2) the session number is in a cookie and the data is read from the server's session dataset for every page.
