I should note there is one exception to the session cookie being deleted upon closing the browser. If you are using Auth and set auth.settings.remember_me_form = True, upon login with the "Remember me" option checked, it will set a 30 day expiration on the session cookie (so, from the browser's perspective, it is technically no longer a "session" cookie). In that case, the session will survive across multiple browser sessions. Anthony
