You can remove the ';-)' - my email wasn't a criticism, but is made in 
all seriousness to try to bring other web sites I have involvement in 
within the law. That includes my own site too (and I don't actually know 
the answer except that it is, of course, a PHP session cookie - that's 
the point of doing a cookie audit as required by the ICO).
