enter image description here

The difference between session and token, session is a cookie that we will use when we want to enter as user or authenticate so from there you will get session cookies, you can see, inspect there are several menu lines and you select Application when you enter you will see Cookies and a list of your cookie data, tokens are almost the same as regular cookies tokens are used when you want to use 2 platforms, the backend and frontend are the tokens will be stored in the frontend not in the backend and it will be stored LocalStorage
