11-Oct-2010The main difference between cookies and sessions is that cookies are stored in the user's browser, and sessions are not.
A session is available as long as the browser is opened while A cookie can keep information in the user's browser until deleted.
User can block cookies or delete them at any time while Sessions are not reliant on the user allowing a cookie. They work instead like a token allowing access and passing information while the user has their browser open.
