These files are managed by the Werkzeug WSGI (Web Server Gateway Interface) toolkit, which provides a robust mechanism for handling sessions in Python web applications. The data within .SESS files is crucial for maintaining user context, tracking login status, and preserving personalized settings during a browsing session. The specific content and format of these files can vary based on the Odoo implementation and configuration.
