What is the use of "laravel_session" cookie?

Question

So i have created a project and right now i have to give information about every cookie that it is used. I am using laravel 5.0 and the cookies that are used by laravel are the below :

1) laravel_session
2) XSRF-TOKEN

I know about the second one, but i can't find information about the first one. Is it about knowing the current user? The project also uses socialite - facebook.

Please, if you need any further information feel free to ask and i will provide.

Answer 1

Internally laravel uses laravel_session to identify a session instance for a user, this can be changed by going into config/session.php and editing the cookie value
