Why save sessions?

Ok, I have to admit.  I'm new to PHP.  Recently, I've been developing a user login system and have looked at many tutorials.  In these tutorials I have noticed that they save the sessions variables, and I don't know why.  The idea of saving the sessions variables completely goes against the definition of the word session.  It becomes more than a session.  If you want to save the user details for the next time they visit the website then would you just not use a cookie?

 

Hey, I'm new to this community, I hope to get a lot from it as well as put a lot back in  :)

Wecome.

 

Where are they saving said sessions? I'm with you, if you want persistence, you'd normally save them in a cookie.

 

Then again.. you wouldn't really want to save a users complete site customizatiosn within a cookie.
