[Java] Cookies vs Session

I did a search on google for cookies vs session but all I got was persistent cookies vs session cookies.

What is the pros/cons of having session cookies compared to using httpsession?

If I recall my lecture today, the instructor stated that both session cookies and httpsession will be destroyed once the browser is closed. So what's the point of using session cookies when you could simply use httpsession. In terms of coding, it's easier to use httpsession and you can even store objects but with cookies, you can't.
