First answer this question: Why bypass the WordPress login/auth system? What’s the end-game here?
I would highly recommend against using PHP sessions to maintain user state in the WordPress world. More likely than not, a cookie will be sufficient.
For using cookies, you can use the PHP setcookie() function to set cookies, and the $_COOKIE superglobal to access cookies.
However, cookies aren’t great for all purposes, especially cases where sensitive or internal information needs to be stored. In general, any purposes where you just need to save simple user preferences or user state containing otherwise-exposed information (like post IDs,) cookies can be very useful.
