Sessions are temporary.. They go away when you close your browser, or when they expire.. They are supposed to be used to pass information from page to page during your current session.. I would think that they are stored in a binary db file on the server, not a text file..(for speed) but I'm probably wrong about that... (it probably depends on what language you are using.. ASP probably handles sessions different than PHP) .. In this case (passing login info) I would say sessions should only be used IF the user does not want to use cookies.. I would hate to have 200 users all having info passed using sessions.. that would slow things way down.
