SharedObject - shopping cart ?

Hi all,

I’m developing a shopping cart in flash that uses PayPal, so I don’t really have to worry about card transactions etc.  
The products are added to a basket, but if I move to another part of the site before buying this information is lost. To keep a record of whats in the basket I was going to use the Shared Object to store the baskets contents. I know that the Shared Object can be deleted or disabled by the user if they right click on the swf and get the menu.  
Is it a bad idea to to use Shared Object, or is it the same with Cookies cos they can be disabled as well.
