Represents a browser session.

Sessions persist between HTTP requests for a single browser session. They are deleted when the browser is closed, or
they time-out. Session cookies are used to maintain sessions using a secure UUID.

Sessions can be used to maintain data for a browser session, e.g. a shopping basket.
 The context must have first been routed to a SessionHandler for sessions to be available.
