yes, I'm talking about session data in a cookie. as mentioned in the book 
with

session.connect(request, response, cookie_key='secret')

As mentioned by Anthony there are no known vulnerabilities - unless proven 
otherwise. So I assume it is safe to use this method.

Further the session data in a cookie is almost 2KB. If I use compression it 
is around 1,2KB. The total http header size without session data is around 
1KB. So the request header size would be 2-3 times larger for every 
request. I don't know if this really makes a difference but it is something 
I have to keep in mind. I'm still deciding between session data in cookie 
and sessions in redis.
