Yes, cookies are typically used on the client side (but you can also use cookieless sessions, which will encode the Session ID in the urls)
The cookie itself however, has nothing to do with the timeout. The server simply times out the Session when it has not received any request from the client with a particular session for a specified time (the Session timeout).
