Why would a session state be used over an application state?
Sometimes the data is too large or requires additional security.
Where is the session state stored by default? What are some other options for storage?
By default, session states are stored in memory on the server. The can be configured to store information in client-side cookies, on another state server or inside a Microsoft SQL Server database;
Does application state or session state consumer more server memory and why?
Session state uses more memory because it is per-user. Application state is shared among users.
Which might not work if a user has disabled cookies?
Session state won’t work if cookies are disabled. Application state works regardless;
