what is the different between Sessions::CookieStore (default) and Sessions::CacheStore?

I would like to know in Rails

what is the difference between

ActionDispatch::Sessions::CookieStore and ActionDispatch::Sessions::CacheStore

For CacheStore, i assume Rails store the session in memory(RAM)? What about CookieStore, where are they storing?

CookieStore is stored in the client's browser as a cookie. The cookie is signed with your application's secret key so theoretically they should not be able to tamper with it. See here for more information.

CacheStore is stored in whatever ActiveSupport::Cache::Store is using to store information (i.e. memcached or redis, on the server side not on the client side). See here for more information.
