CakePHP 3.x dose not have a default SessionComponent [Here](http://discourse.cakephp.org/t/session-component-not-available-in-cakephp-3-4-7/2637/2) i asked same Question few days ago.

But you can implement your own [Custom Session Handler](https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/development/sessions.html#creating-a-custom-session-handler)

Thank You

You can access the session through `$this->request->session()`.
