This isn't exactly the case. When you set a Session variable, CF stores the variable in memory, and associates it with a unique key. That key is tied to the browser in some way; usually with cookies, but it can be done with form or URL variables too. By the time you set the Session variable, though, the cookies have usually already been set. It isn't the case that there's one cookie per Session variable, either. > If it does is the cookie removed after the session is > completed? By default, CF uses two cookies to associate a browser with Session data; CFID and CFTOKEN. Those cookies are persistent, by default, and will be stored by the browser for some long period of time. In CFMX, if the "Enable J2EE Sessions" option is checked, CF will use one nonpersistent cookie called JSESSIONID, which will be deleted by the browser when the user closes the browser.
