if in doubt look at the database.

MediaWiki add info to another table)
- try the documentation otherwise follow the code
People are much more willing to help when it can be seen that you have
made some effort yourself; if you want to use this software it is
worthwhile looking around the documentation and understanding how it
works.

Thank you for your help. Just so that everyone knows, I did look around and
could not find these things. I checked SpecialUserLogin.php and
defaultsettings.php for these things, but could not find anything. However,
I will check again. I was just hoping that maybe somebody knew the specific
places where I could find this stuff, for example, the name of the variable
for the session cookie (if it is in a variable). If anybody knows anything
specific, please let me know. Thank you again for your help, shardsofmetal
