Description
### Describe the feature
Implement cookie-based session management in the MERN stack project to efficiently and securely handle user sessions. The objective is to track and maintain user sessions while ensuring the secure handling of session cookies using attributes such as HttpOnly and Secure. This will involve using express-session and cookie-parser in the Node.js/Express backend to manage sessions. Proper configuration of session cookies will enhance security and user experience by maintaining state across multiple requests.

Research direction
No files, tests, or backend entry points are named. Start by locating the Node.js/Express server setup and package configuration, then determine how express-session and cookie-parser should fit there. Done means sessions persist across requests and cookies use the requested HttpOnly and Secure settings.
