"Session" is known as a collection object and is closely related to "Application" (also a collection object). Session state stores variables and objects for one particular user for the duration of that users current visit, while the application state shares the variables and objects of an application between all users of the application at the same time.
The session state is stored on the server and allocates each user free memory for the temporary storage of objects. Whilst session state objects will linger after the user leaves the site, the session variables will disappear after a certain period of time.
