Don't know what that settings does. What I know is session tracking uses cookies by default. Unless cookies are disabled. And that needs to be done via the browsers settings.

Usually sessions cookies can be turned off on the web container. This will prevent session cookies from being available in your web app.

If your code never stores anything in a session, it won't matter anyway.

If you have read the servlet API, you should know the circumstances that cause session ID cookies to be created. Any configuration not covered in the API will be unique to a particular server.

What problem do you think will be solved by "turning off" session cookies??
