    What is session tracking? What does using it buy you?
    How are session IDs stored and/or transmitted?
    • It's a way to track sessions using a unique 120-bit identifier. It buys you security because it's a randomly-generated value and is the only piece of session-related information transmitted between server and client.
    • By default, the session ID can be sent in a special cookie (ASP.NET_SessoinId).
    • Another method that doesn't use cookies is to include the session ID as part of a modified URL.
