Connection identification

I want to make a script with authorization. How can I recognize a user after login? For example: when I open EE page, I get a login dialog, but after login I can browse EE, and no information about my login/password is passed to next pages? How is it done?
How can I do that with CGI EXPERT?

Greetings,

EE uses cookies to store your identification.  Once you've been authenticated, it sets a cookie on your browser which lives for an extended period of time.  Each page access you make sends the cookie back to the EE web server which reads it and customizes the page based on who you are.

What about non-cookie browsers?
There is a non-cookie login which then has to send/receive your login name with each page. But most browsers handle cookies.
