title: Using cookies to store session in ASP MVC
body: <p>Storing the entire session in a cookie has been standard in Rails for the last few years - is there an easy way to achieve something similar with ASP MVC?</p>
  
  <p>By default, anything in Session / TempData is stored in memory on the server. In web.config this can be changed to an SQL Store / server-side cache. I'd like to be able to have these objects persisted in a cookie.</p>
  
  <p>It looks like I could implement a custom Session-State Store Provider. Is there a simpler approach?</p>
