Sessions – in most cases – use cookies to store their session id so its pretty much always a case that you are using both. Most sites will use sessions as cookies are inherently insecure as data is stored at the client side where as session data is stored on a server. It is largely a matter of security and what data you intend to store but since its so easy to modfify cookie data then you should never really trust anything within cookies.
