If you prefer session data be stored in cookies, from the book: To *store sessions in cookies* instead you can do: session.connect(request,response,cookie_key='yoursecret',compression_level=None) Here cookie_key is a symmetric encryption key. compression_level is an optional zlib encryption level. While sessions in cookie are often recommended for scalability reason they are limited in size. Large sessions will result in broken cookies. > 2.

Are you setting and retrieving cookie values on the client side via Javascript, or is all that happening on the server (in which case, sessions in cookies as noted above should work)?
