Exacly, I think Barry has a separate issue though, and I may have gone off on a tangent myself in the last note. CF only ever (as a part of the application framework) drops a cookie to help it remember who you are when you next ask for a page. All the juicy and perhaps sensitive information created during your session is in memory, again this is configurable on the server, but by default it's in memory and simply recalled using your CFID and CFTOKEN.
Enabling J2EE session variables won't help you here. You need to get the session to expire, bottom line. And it should so long as the timeout is reached, 20 minutes by default.

Session based cookies are never written to disk and are kept in memory while your browser is open, as opposed to persistent cookies that are written to disk (usually in your browsers cache). You'll need to make your cookies session based as opposed to persistent.
