How do you handle sessions in Laravel?

Answer: In Laravel, sessions are handled using the built-in session management system that provides a simple API. You can store data in the session using the `session()` helper or the `Session` facade. To start a session, Laravel automatically manages it based on the session driver defined in the `config/session.php` file (like file, database, cookie, etc.). You can retrieve session data with `session(‘key’)`, set data with `session([‘key’ => ‘value’])`, and remove it with `session()->forget(‘key’)`. Middleware also ensures that session data is persisted across requests.
