The most common example of this feature is the shopping cart in online stores.

Without the session cookie the page would not remember exactly what products you added to your cart so that when you clicked "pay" your cart was empty.

Ειδικότερα, η σελίδα μας αποθηκεύει δύο cookie συνεδρίας: ένα, που απομνημονεύει την επιλογή της γλώσσας περιήγησης της σελίδας και ένα για την απομνημόνευση όλων των υπολοίπων επιλογών του χρήστη. Και τα δύο cookies συνεδρίας διαγράφονται αυτόματα από τον υπολογιστή του χρήστη μετά τη λήξη της συνεδρίας του, η οποία επέρχεται δέκα πέντε λεπτά μετά την τελευταία ενέργειά του εντός της σελίδας. Τα cookies αυτά είναι αρχικού κατασκευαστή (αγγλικός όρος: «first party cookies»), δηλαδή τοποθετούνται και διαβάζονται από το domain της σελίδας μας.
