Cookies persist on your local computer, they are small text
files that are stored there by websites and web applications that
contain some basic information about you as a user.
Sessions are application specific and persist only as long as
you are actively engaged with a particular web site. For instance
if you leave Amazon.com open do some shopping, then close the web
browser before making any purchases, your session has ended,
however the cookie that identifies your username still exists on
your local computer.

Difference between Cookies and Session in AspNet?
* The main difference between cookies and sessions
is that cookies are stored in the user's browser, and
sessions are not. This difference determines what each is
best used for.
* A cookie can keep information in the user's browser
until deleted. If a person has a login and password, this can be
set as a cookie in their browser so they do not have to re-login to
your website every time they visit. You can store almost anything
in a browser cookie. * The trouble is that a user can block cookies
or delete them at any time. If, for example, your websites shopping
cart utilized cookies, and a person had their browser set to block
them, then they could not shop at your website. * 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. The problem with sessions is that when you
close your browser you also lose the session. So, if you had a site
requiring a login, this couldn't be saved as a session like it
could as a cookie, and the user would be forced to re-login every
time they visit.
Asked in Baking
What happens during the baking of crisp cookies?
Pretty much the same that happens during the baking of other
types of cookies. But there are certain things in the recipe and
directions which do make the difference between crisp cookies and
other types. The amount of fat in the recipe, the length of time
baked, as well as how thin or flat the cookies are before baking
are things which can make the difference between crisp cookies and
other types of cookies

Asked in Web Programming, PHP Programming, The Difference Between
Difference between the session and cookie?
While providing much of the same functionality, a session
variable will be deleted at the end of the users session, or visit
to your page. A cookie will not expire until the time indicated
when it was created. I believe session variables are considered
more secure.
