Session is only saved into cookie?

Storing sessions in cookies isn't neccissarily a bad thing. If done correctly (securely) there are actually benefits.

You'll notice that Ruby on Rails recently changed to a cookie based session as it's default. They fleshed it out really well with regards to features and security, read about some of that here:

Rails 2.0 Cookie session store and security

Their reasons for doing so share many of the same reasons it's done like this for CodeIgniter. That being said, however, I really wish CI would implement options. So you could easily choose between cookie, db, etc sessions in the config file. Hopefully that will come in CI 1.7. :long:
