Session data is normally stored on disk in the "sessions" folder in python pickle format - only the session id is transferred over the network connection between the client and the server. (I say "normally" because there is also an option to store session data in the database, though this has to be enabled).
If you scale your application up to more than one server you'll obviously have to consider how the session folder is shared between servers, or make sure the same session is always served by the same machine.
