I was going to do this. Thanks. It sucks as a developer to keep relogging back in.

 

Does this redirect to the page user was on as well?

No it will redirect to the landing page that was set up in the ACP, it wouldn't be hard to change it though

What's the difference between session based and cookie based logins? 

[Dayo]

Without the cookie based login user accounts are automatically logged out after a few hours (dependant on your server settings)

Majority of the time the site who creates the cookie is supposed to be the only site that can read the cookie.

 

Cookies can store any information that web programming languages has access to. Whatever PHP, ASP, JS can find out about you, can be saved in a cookie for later use. Think of a cookie as a variable :). 

Clear your browsing history (cookies to) and your cookies get deleted. You can also do/use session browsing which am information gathered while browsimg is deleted once you code browser(end your session).
