How can cookie settings affect PHP session handling?

Cookie settings can affect PHP session handling by determining how session IDs are stored and transmitted. If cookies are disabled or set to be stored only for the current session, PHP may struggle to maintain session state across multiple requests. To ensure proper session handling, it is important to configure cookie settings to allow for persistent storage of session IDs. 

// Set cookie settings to allow for persistent session storage
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 3600);
ini_set('session.cookie_path', '/');
ini_set('session.cookie_domain', 'example.com');
session_start();
