Session variables don't need to be passed, they're persistent for the life of the variable (set up in CF Administrator). If you go on
page1.cfm: <CFSET Session.FirstName = "Joe">
You can go in page2.cfm and <CFOUTPUT>#Session.FirstName#</CFOUTPUT>
and it will work (assuming you have session vars turned on, and both pages are part of the same app).
They're like global variables (ie Application vars) except they're specific to a user (in the context of a browser session).
Like how would you pass a Structure or an Array in a cookie or URL. You would have to serialize it, which is super complicated and not worth the trouble.
