Recreate Session - how does it work ?

How does Recreate Session work?

Meaning, how does it not lose the customer (whether logged in or not)?

If the main tracking tool is a session, then if the session is changed, why isn't the customer lost to the system?

Just curious, would love to understand it, many thanks :smile:

At its simplest level, it basically preserves the existing session details, then creates a new session, transfers relevant data forward, and deletes the old session.
