Session vs. Cookie

[Vigile]

Okay, I was just curious is someone could point on the advantages/disadvantages of sessions vs. Cookies?

This is probably redundant, but I can't seem to want to use sessions as they make tracking site traffic difficult in my various sources and make the URLs *ugly* as well. ;)

Thanks!

There is no "sessions vs. cookies" debate. No matter what you do, vBulletin as distributed requires sessions to work.

What the "Browse with Cookies" option does is remove the session variable from your URL and store it as a session cookie. This simply means once you close your browser it is deleted.

Every visitor will be assigned a Sessionhash and use it to interact with the security of the system.
