Here's a tutorial on sessions: https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-use-sessions-and-session-variables-in-php--cms-31839
Session handling is a key concept in PHP that enables user information to be persisted across all the pages of a website or app.

By storing information about the user id or user session as a cookie in the end-user's web browser.
Keep in mind, if you just want to simply store user id as a cookie without messing with PHP sessions, encrypt it so that it can't just be changed to a different id by the end-user.
