Re: Where does session store its value. Server or at client.

The data is stored on the server, but the session ID that identifies you as
an existing user is held in a cookie on the client. If you want I believe
you can configure "sessionless cookies" where the session ID is passed via
the querystring rather than being held in a cookie.

Hi
I am kind of new in web development.
I am trying to use sessions to store some values. But I am wondering where
does session store the value.
Does it use cookies.
Can anything block to store the values to be stored.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Scott
