Session cookies are totally different and separate from the
very common username cookies. Keep studying.

Also keep in mind that storing the session ID in a cookie is a security risk 
too - that session ID can be hijacked or reused by another user.

yes, but what is the alternative?

Hence my initial question. Cookies are a security threat. That's why modern 
browsers give you the options of disabling them or removing them when the 
browser closes.
