Sessions

The sleekshop sessions are used to identify the user interacting with the frontend, which sends and receives data from the backend via API. Some functions doesn't need to identify the special user like get_products_in_category or similar functions. But a lot functions need session. If you add an item into your cart, the users cart is stored in the sleekshop - backend and you as an developer need to know to which visitor the cart belongs. Therefore we need sessions.

This sessions has to be stored on the frontend - side of the corresponding user, for instance in a cookie.
