cookies can only hold so much data, if you have access to a DB of any description - use it!, you can display the contents of the cart by a query from the DB or by passing ifo from page to page in the query string or better still via hidden form fields. But the database certainly gives you more options.
But first things first, what languages do you have available? - I am assuming you have PERL, what about PHP (my vote) or ASP (even cold-fusion if you are desperate) & what DB do you have access to , you can even use text files to store cart info although this rules out javascript.
But anyway - IMHO serverside/CGI is a must.
