- The server receives a username and password and verifies; if correct, it sends (together with a cookie) a page to confirm the user; also, the server stores the pair name / cookie (or just the cookie);
- At each access of a web page on the server, the browser sends the cookie together with the request for access; the server compares the received cookie with the one stored and can decide whether it is an authenticated user or not, sending it to the right page.
This is the method used by nearly all websites.
