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

[Scott]

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

Thanks Aidy.

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.
