as far as i know to see if cookies are enabled a cookie has to be set. therefore
the page of your application that will invoke a new session appends the session
string to the url because at this point the application can't know if cookies
are accepted or not, the application tries to set the cookie and if cookies are
accepted the next page won't append the session string to the url.
