session-cookies

I am serving dynamic image content which is generated by PHP. But for such requests to a .php file, the PHPSESSID cookie is being sent along, which is a waste.

Is it possible to prevent PHP from sending this cookie with requests to a PHP file? Or is it completely necessary for PHP to work?

Thanks for your time!
