A sticky session is a proxy configuration that keeps the same IP address assigned to your connection across multiple requests. Instead of rotating to a new IP on each request, the proxy "sticks" to one IP for a set duration or until you manually release it. This gives you a consistent identity on the target website.
When you connect to a proxy gateway, you include a session identifier in your credentials. The gateway maps that session ID to a specific IP from the pool. Every subsequent request using that same session ID routes through the same IP. You control how long the session lasts. Some providers cap session duration, while others let you hold an IP indefinitely as long as the connection stays active.
Any task that requires maintaining state needs sticky sessions. Social media account management is the most common example. If your IP changes mid-session, the platform sees a sudden location shift and flags the account. Sticky sessions prevent that by keeping a consistent residential IP tied to each account.
E-commerce checkout flows, form submissions, and any multi-step process that tracks your IP also require session persistence. ScaleProxy supports sticky sessions across all plans, controlled entirely through your proxy credentials. No dashboard toggles or support tickets needed.
