While it is possible that you might save some data in a cookie (yes,
I've seen it done) that's not usually the way that it works. Usually
it's just as Richard has already described; the cookie just stores a
name / value pair that identifies which session is yours and then PHP
goes and retrieves that record.
If you don't want to rely on cookies then using trans_sid is seriously
the next best way to go. So go turn it on if you don't want to require
cookies, it really should be that simple! Then the name / value pair is
attached to the URLs instead of stored in a cookie.
