Well, you're never going to see any output from onSessionEnd, because
if you do, that would indicate that the session hasn't actually ended.
The onSessionEnd and onApplicationEnd events don't generate any output
that can be seen by a user.

I don't think that cookies expire when the session expires. If you're
using CFID and CFTOKEN cookies as the session token, those cookies
will last beyond the session, and beyond the closing of the browser.
If you're using JSESSIONID as the session token, that cookie will be
destroyed when the browser is closed.
If you're using CFLOGIN/CFLOGINUSER/CFLOGOUT, you'll also need to
associate login storage with the session in Application.cfc/cfm.
