Why is a cookieless session implemented on a mobile Web application?

A cookieless session is implemented on a mobile Web application to ensure that a mobile Web site is compatible with mobile devices of several users. Since, many mobile devices do not accept cookies, cookieless sessions are enabled to maintain session state of each user. The cookieless session is implemented by placing the session ID value into the URL for the specified mobile Web site. By default, ASP.NET session state is defined in the Machine.config file, which can be overridden in the Web.config file located in the Web application's root folder. Therefore, in the Web.config file, the cookieless attribute of the <sessionState> element node is set to true. For example:

<configuration>
   <system.web>
      <sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="true"
      timeout="30"/>
      </sessionState>
   </system.web>
</configuration>
