Sessions vs Cookies

I am working on a project that will eventually scale up to multiple
servers and want to be sure I choose the correct path for controlling
persistant information, for example a users ID. From what I have read,
using sessions could limit me to a single server, where as cookies
will allow me to have multiple servers as the persistant information
travels with the client instead of residing on the server. Am I wrong
in this assumption? Are there any best practices with dealing with
persistant information and multiple servers?
