From support mail:

For the send2cgeo – Userscript it is necessary to accept cookies. If the cookies are deleted (so in my case) I have to reconnect/reregistrate my browser and phone on your homepage before I use the script on the GC-homepage. The Greasemonkey-Project allows you to store some data in the browser (also after restart), so that you don’t need cookies!

I vote for passing the unique token / ID via GET. It's as secure as sending the ID/token via cookie.

This method is more permanent and useful for scripting and also greasemonkey script can be generated dynamically so that it would include the token.

We can save a value via http://wiki.greasespot.net/GM_setValue and get so send http://wiki.greasespot.net/GM_getValue but than must the code on HP change. Perhaps for both methods cookie and setting over script.

But please do not drop the cookie functionality if you decide to change the greasemonkey script.
