Session cookie not recreated if cleared in the browser

[clubside]

Howdy!

I'm working on adding sessions to my fastify app and in the course of testing I used the Application tab of DevTools to clear the cookies by right-clicking on it in the left pane and choosing "Clear". Now any visit to the server leaves the cookie empty. How can I get the cookie (and the all-important session id) recreated?

On a side node, it's quite maddening coming from a standard server session environment where session variables are persisted across requests. As your own sample https://github.com/fastify/example/tree/master/fastify-session-authentication shows, after logging in successfully just refreshing the page shows you as logged out. Because of this I assume I have to track the sessions myself and store the variables related to each id. Obviously people are using fastify and fastify-session in the wild, just frustrated there is no simple real-world logging in and maintaining session variables until logged out example.
