You shouldn't confuse session with authentication. If you are using Forms Authentication a separate cookie will be used to track authenticated users. Here's a good article explaining how to enable cookieless forms authentication. You could set the cookieless attribute on the <forms> element.

That's the problem with rolling your own login: you lose all the benefits of using Membership Providers. You should cast your "own login mechanism" into a custom membership provider so that you can benefit from what ASP.NET provides out of the box.

Writing a custom membership provider is not difficult, and there are loads of articles, samples and blogs on the subject.

4guysfromrolla.com, for example, has a series of articles dedicated to the ASP.NET membership provider.
