A session is a global variable stored on the server. Each session is assigned a unique id which is used to retrieve stored values. Whenever a session is created, a cookie containing the unique session id is stored on the user's computer and returned with every request to the server.
Rails provides a session object for each user that accesses the application. If the user already has an active session, Rails uses the existing session. Otherwise a new session is created. Read more about sessions and how to use them in Action Controller Overview Guide.
Session variables are a way to store data about a user in a database and retrieve it later. Cookies are a way to store data about a user on the user's computer. Session variables are typically used in applications that need to keep track of a user's activity.
A session variable is a special type of variable whose value is maintained across subsequent web pages. With session variables, user-specific data can be preserved from page to page delivering customized content as the user interacts with the web application.
By default rails uses cookies to store the session data. All data is stored in the client, not on the server.
