multiple screens during a registration process

[Sam]

I have multiple screens during a registration process. I have noticed that
most BIG registration websites are not using "hidden text input objects" to
carry the information from one page to another.

what would you suggest?
1) use hidden field objects for example <input type=hidden name=myobj>
2) store in cookies
3) save to a database and retrieve and save as the user goes thought the
pages. Even though they could abort the process mid stream.

Thanks.

For this purpose I'd use session variables, unless you need the user to be
able to abort the registration process and continue it a later stage?
