What are sessions? Simple: they’re how websites remember you *without* storing everything on your device.
Cookies *can* hold session IDs, but sessions themselves are server-side. Big difference! For example, when you log into Facebook, the session keeps you logged in as you click around.
Why does it matter? Security! If everything was in cookies, hackers could easily fake being you.
Try playing with PHP sessions—super straightforward for beginners.
