title: Is it worth using Session + Cookie in Laravel 9?
body: <p>I'm building a Laravel 9 app that relies a lot on saved data for the user. Currently, I'm using Sessions only to retrieve this data from the user later on (anywhere from 1-600 minutes after the first visit).</p>
  <p>Would it be wiser to use Session AND Cookies together, or would it be obsolete? I'm guessing if we lose the session data somehow, then we would use the cookie data as well? Obviously, first looking at the Session data, if it doesn't exist, then check the Cookie data.</p>
  <p>Are there any other viable mechanisms to save user data and retrieve it at a slightly later time?</p>
