What is the best practice for accessing session variables in external scripts within Joomla modules?

When accessing session variables in external scripts within Joomla modules, it is best practice to use Joomla's built-in session handling functions to ensure compatibility and security. This involves using JFactory::getSession() to retrieve the session object and then accessing the session variables through that object. 

// Get the Joomla session object
$session = JFactory::getSession();

// Access session variables
$myVar = $session->get('myVar', 'default_value');
