Joomla! uses session cookies in order to provide a better experience for the user. They will allow users to navigate the site easier and quicker by keeping the user logged in, auto populating form fields and more. There are cookies for regular users, logged in users and for commenters.

This cookie is native to PHP and enables websites to store serialized state data. It is used to establish a user session and to pass state data via a temporary cookie, which is commonly referred to as a session cookie. As the PHPSESSID cookie has no timed expiry, it disappears when the client is closed.
