If you look at the login page you will notice, very prominently, the 
following

--clipped--
If you prefer not to set a cookie, use this login button instead: 
"Login without setting a cookie"

If you login without a cookie, You should be aware of the following:

LISTSERV will create a temporary "ticket" which the web interface 
passes from page to page. The ticket has a short expiration and you 
will be required to login again periodically throughout your session.

You should not use the browser's "Back" button: doing so might lose 
your ticket and you will be required to log in more frequently.

You do not need to "Log off" -- the technical purpose of logging off is 
to remove the cookie. Your ticket will expire within 15 minutes.

--end clip--

Does that resolve your concern?
