Difference between CI session and PHP session

What is the difference between these?

More importantly, why is CI session better?

A PHP session stores data on the server, CI in a cookie. To me server-side storage looks better.


Kind regards

I found this link on Derekallard.com where I think he answers your question if you look at the user comments after the 1st dark gray box.
