It tracks the content based on a session ID created when the user first =
connects to your site.  It is then deleted after the session is closed.  =
If cookies are enabled this ID is written to the cookie.  The =
incompatibility comes with the many version of browsers and firewalls / =
proxy servers that can complicate the matter.  (Sorry if this seems =
simple)

I will be upgrading my sites to 4.6 starting next week and am waiting to =
work out the cookie problem till then.  I am hoping it is just a =
"simple" template problem.

when you turn cookies off it uses some other method to save the =
contents?

    I temporarily resolved this problem by just turning off cookies in =
the catalog.cfg.  Apparently the problem only came up with certain users =
in my case especially the AOL users.  The issues with this solution is =
that all your users have to sign in every time and they loose the =
contents of the cart after logging off or leaving the session.

    I have separate SSL domains.  http://myclients.com/myclient-bin/ and =
https://secure.host.com/myclient-bin/  I think the root of my issue was =
certain browsers kept cookies for each domain unsecured and secured.  =
Thus when they are passed to SSL for checkout the server picks up on the =
other cookie.  (Not real sure about this theory as I was not able to =
replicate the problem for myself.
    =20
    My solution was temporary but at least I don't have customers aren't =
calling anymore saying they can't checkout.

      I am using interchange 4.5.8  Everything is OK, but if i put =
something in the cart and leave the page when i come back i get:
      =20
      No items at the moment.
      =20
      I have been able to resolve this by adding the line
      <INPUT TYPE=3Dhidden NAME=3D"mv_save_session" VALUE=3D"Yes">

      within the Buy button <form> tags. But this fix only last for =
about 1 hour.  After an hour the cart is empty again.
