What is the difference between a global session and a standard session in terms of usage?

A global session usually refers to a session that is accessible and maintained at the application level or across different components/modules, often with a longer lifespan and shared data among users or threads. A standard session (e.g., HTTP session in web applications) is tied to a specific user and typically stores data related to that user during their interaction with the application.

Example: In a web app, a standard session stores data for a specific user (like a shopping cart), while a global session might be used for storing common settings or cache accessible to all users.

Thus, the main difference is in scope and lifespan: a standard session is user-specific and temporary, while a global session is shared and more persistent.
