Can I turn off session state?

I'm looking at deploying Kentico 7 in a web farm scenario. My team has been careful to avoid using session state during development. Ideally, I would like to turn off ASP.NET session state in the web.config file. The alternatives would be to set up sticky sessions on the load balancer, add a session server, or move session into our SQL Server database. None of these options are really appealing to me.

So here's my question:

Does Kentico 7 require ASP.NET session state in order to function properly?

Also, Kentico is a .Net application, so you can use the sessions as you want - including storing the session on the SQL Server. There are no issues with it. Best regards, Juraj Ondrus

I would not recommend that since some parts of the system are working with session and also users and other things are used in sessions. Best regards, Juraj Ondrus

We don't use session state in any of our application code or custom web parts. I tried storing session in the SQL Server and it does appear that Kentico is using session internally. So I guess we'll stick with that approach. Thank you for your help.
