Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: a 'session cookie' is a cookie (a small piece of website data) that pertains to a session (the temporary user session). A B1 learner who knows both constituent senses can infer it is a cookie used for a session and therefore temporary, so the MWE is transparently derived from its parts.
Etymology
Session cookie comes from the image of a small 'cookie' a website gives you during a single session, meaning your visit to the site. Think of it like a little note or biscuit you keep while you browse and then throw away when you leave, so a session cookie is 'temporary' and is deleted when you close the browser.
