Are you talking about cookies (stored on the visitors computer), or
"session" cookies (stored in the servers memory)?
Not quite.
Session cookies, like all cookies, are stored at the client.
A session cookie [= a cookie, set without explicit expiration] expires when
the connecion is lost, if the browser behaves as intended. Some call it a
ram-cookie, because it is not stored on the client's hard disk.
A session variable [did you mean that?] however is stored on the server and
is kept till the session is timed out or abandoned. However a session is
only viable while and if the client keeps the session-id cookie, which to
the client is a normal session cookie [see above].
