Are browsers secrets and other cookies, session encrypted on disk ?

Are cookies and other private data encrypted on disk by browser ? If yes what key is used for encryption ?

Same question for installed applications that may store secrets.

Also can app session be hijacked without possible protection ? Email app could then be easily leaked and so allowing attacker to reset password and acces everything that easily ?
