hi Brandon,
we use php's session handing functions to set cookies, they are obviously
hashed, etc before the values are sent.
as part of the authentication system, we check to see that the user's client
matches the last access with that session id, if not, we request a sign in.
if you're not talking about authenticated pages, (which you probably aren't
for a basic shopping cart app), we handle all of that stuff transparently.
