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
