Re: <sessionState cookieless="true" />

It means that ASP.NET doesn't use cookies to maintain session state.

Instead, ASP.NET will maintain session state by inserting a random ID,
like : http://yourserver.com/(S(n1rpjs55doute2vjvs0rd155))/helloworld.aspx
in your URL.

Then, *that* ID identifies the state of your client's session,
instead of cookies being used to maintain session state.
