That's PHP's [session](http://php.net/manual/en/book.session.php) cookie and is how PHP keeps track of user data across different requests. It'll only get set if something in your template ultimately invokes any of the methods in Craft's [UserSessionService](http://buildwithcraft.com/classreference/services/UserSessionService) or Yii's [CWebUser](http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CWebUser).
