Answer 1

Cookies and session both store information about the user (to make the HTTP request stateful) but the difference is that cookies store information on the client-side (browser) and sessions store information on the server-side. A cookie is limited in the sense that it stores information about limited users and only stores limited content for each user. A session is not limit in such a way.
