Difference between session and cookie? February 7, 2007

1) session should work regardless of the settings on the client browser. even if users decide to forbid the cookie (through browser settings) session still works. there is no way to disable sessions from the client browser.
2) session and cookies differ in type and amount of information they are capable of storing.
Javax.servlet.http.Cookie class has a setValue() method that accepts Strings. javax.servlet.http.HttpSession has a setAttribute() method which takes a String to denote the name and java.lang.Object which means that HttpSession is capable of storing any java object. Cookie can only store String objects.

A session is an object associated with a client connection to the server. it has the ability to carry information related to the client. since http is a connectionless protocol, developers need an ability to “remember” what the client of the application did during the visit to the page.EX: “shopping cart”
Cookies are the server side information stored in the client browser according to user settings. but if an user blocks that cookie then the actual user will be in trouble
Sessions will be destroyed if you close the browser.. sessions will be maintained till we quit the browser… (not save and quit)
sessions are the variables that stored in client browser.. and cookies are the information that are stored in client hard disk
If you set the variable to “cookies”, then your users will not have to log in each time they enter your community.
The cookie will stay in place within the user’s browser until it is deleted by the user.
But Sessions are popularly used, as the there is a chance of your cookies getting blocked if the user browser security setting is set high.
If you set the variable to “sessions”, then user activity will be tracked using browser sessions, and your users will have to log in each time they re-open their browser. Additionally, if you are using the “sessions” variable, you need to secure the “sessions” directory, either by placing it above the web root or by requesting that your web host make it a non-browsable directory.
The Key difference would be cookies are stored in your hard disk whereas a session aren’t stored in your hard disk. Sessions are basically like tokens, which are generated at authentication. A session is available as long as the browser is opened.

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.
