I have my squid source(2.6STABLE19) in /usr/src/squid. The following
might be of interest..

-bash-3.00$ less
/usr/src/squid/helpers/external_acl/session/squid_session.8
squid_session(8)
squid_session(8)

NAME
       squid_session - Squid session tracking external acl group helper

SYNOPSIS
       squid_session [-t idle_timeout] [-b dbpath] [-a]

DESCRIPTION
       This helper maintains a concept of sessions by monitoring
requests and
       timing out sessions if no requests have been seen for the idle
timeout
       timer.

       Intended use is for displaying "terms of use" pages, ad popups etc.

[SNIP]

I'm not certain if the helper is included with Squid 3 source, but there
is no reason the helper wouldn't work with Squid 3.
