Sessions are created when a browser connects to a server (i.e., requests
a web page). Sessions are closed when either the WEB browser shutsdown,
or the WEB server is shutdown.
Using cookies to track a session seems confusing to me, even though it
is a valid approach. Are you trying to use cookies to create a session,
and track it? If so, this is separate from the actual "sessions"
created by the underlying browser/server session mechanisms.
Make sure you are distinguishing the two, and make sure your approach is
completely within the bounds for that approach. In other words, do not
mix the two approaches... you may be getting confused.
