I have visited an online shop and the url is something like: www.someonlineshop.com/home.asp?Session=a20cc42545d42e4157e8c7aca47e58f5

What is that all about? - what does it do?

Many Thanks

hello Leod57,

I am not an expert, but a session, can hold some information about a visitor like a cookie. Normally a session end within 20 min of inactiviti (?) or when you close your browser window(s).

Hope this helps...

Thanks for that - i think such a session variable that loads when u first visit the page is to save information - like what u searched for or something

This isn't session variable, it's QuerySting named 'Session'.
