You can pass `:serializer` key to specify serializer for serializing session:
```ruby
-YourApp::Application.config.session_store :cookie_store, key: '_your_app_session', serializer: :json_serializer
+YourApp::Application.config.session_store :cookie_store, key: '_your_app_session', serializer: :json
```
-Default serializer is `:marshal_serializer`. When Symbol or String is passed it
-will look for appropriate class in `ActionDispatch::Session` namespace, so
-passing `:my_custom_serializer` would load
-`ActionDispatch::Session::MyCustomSerializer`.

+old applications `:marshal` is used when `serializer` option is not specified.
-```ruby
-YourApp::Application.config.session_store :cookie_store, key: '_your_app_session', serializer: :my_custom_serializer
