<sessionState cookieless="true" />

What do you mean by a cookieless session state? When you set the
sessionState section's cookieless attribute to true in the web.config
file, what does that mean?

I read this
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ateSection.asp)
and it does not explain the meaning of cookieless.

Well if you use cookieless session states , the session ID will be send in
the URL

By default, the ASP.NET session object uses a client-side cookie to store an
identifier. This identifier is used to locate the session across server
round trips. However, it also supports a cookieless session mode that
initially redirects the client to a new URL containing the session ID, and
then automatically parses the session ID out of the URL
