> Well, I suppose if you restored a cookie that had expired, it should
fail. Telling a site to be "always logged in" amounts to telling it to
set a long-lived cookie; some sites will do that without being told. But
the site doesn't have complete control over what happens on your
computer -- if you wipe out the cookie, that effectively logs you out.
By the same token, if you close your browser without wiping the cookie
and then relaunch it later with the cookie intact and unexpired (or
restore the session with the cookie intact and unexpired), the website
can't tell the difference and treats you as logged in.
Thanks. :)
