The cookie *name* is the same for all sessions (usually something like
"sessionid" with a prefix identifying the servlet engine), but the cookie
*value* is unique per session. The servlet engine generates a new unique
session ID when a session is created, usually some combination of time,
a counter and the servers IP address. It uses this ID as the cookie
value. So when the client sends the cookie back to the server with the
next request it can associate the request with the correct session.
