+This Plugin allows session information to be retained whilst a browser is running. It does this by storing a small session cookie in the browser. This contains an identification string that TWiki uses to extract session information on the server.
+
+Notes:
+
+* The cookie is not persistant
+
+* The session information is stored in files under `data/.sessions/`
+
+* Old session files should be deleted by a cron job
+
+* The identification string used for a session is:
+
+* * time (second resolution) + random number
+
+* If url parameter `stickskin` is present, its value sets the session value for `SKIN` i.e. you then stick on this skin. Get back to defalt skin with _stickskin=._
+
+* Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = Holds session information on server, session identified from sessionId stored in non-persistant cookie
+
+* Set DEBUG = 1
