Is a 3rd party session library recommended for CI 1.6.3?

[quote author="Steve Grant" date="1215886793"]The CI class doesn't utilise the native PHP session class, which means that (unless you use a third-party session library/plugin) if a user doesn't allow cookies in their browser, you won't be able to retrieve or set any session data. Which is annoying.[/quote]
Native sessions use a cookie as well - for the session id.
