Web session:

Web session defines a period of time during which a user's browser is requesting information from a Web server. Because HTTP is a stateless protocol, it does not provide a mechanism to maintain state information between requests from a browser. With Chili!Soft ASP, developers can use the built-in Session object to maintain session information for each user, providing consistent user sessions on the Web.
