# Define Session, SessionId and Session State in ASP.NET.

A session is the duration of connectivity between a client and a server application. \
\
SessionId is used to identify a request from the browser. By default, value of SessionId is stored in a cookie. You can configure the application to store SessionId in the URL for a "cookieless" session.
