 * Hi Support,
 * I am setting up a website that I want to be cookie free. I have created a plugin
   with a form that posts and recieves data from the server. It seems that the NinjaFirewall
   is creating a session cookie at this point. I have been able to edit the PHP 
   settings to stop the cookie being created but I am just wanting to check that
   this is a good soloution and that I am not causing problems with NinjaFirewall
   or my web site by doing this.
 * Thanks for your help.

 * The session is created when you log in or were logged in. It is used to check
   if the user accessing the admin dahsboard if whitelisted by the firewall.
    If
   you’re not authenticated, e.g., a visitor, there won’t be any session cookie 
   created.
