Do not share POESESSID values with other people

Some third-party tools ask that you give them your Path of Exile website session cookie in order for them to be able to function, without explaining the significant risks this exposes you to.

While sharing any login information with other people is specifically against Path of Exile's terms of use, we haven't yet proactively banned any users for sharing their POESESSID values. However, if your session is misused and someone does something bad on your account that results in a ban, then the intentional disclosure of your account credentials is only going to make the situation worse.
