Which one is most suitable for user login system with a 'keep me signed in' button? Sessions or cookies?

Session is destroyed once you close website, so you'd have to set cookie that will hold eg.: "loggedIn" and everytime user enters the site, it'll check if it's set to "1" and log him in, otherwise show log in form.

And then doesn't it unsafe to save sensitive data such as user id in a cookie? That is the problem I met
