Compare it to what google does in e.g. gmail: when you hit refresh, you clearly see that the entire application is reloaded. Eventually you arrive in the same location were you where, through what was entered in the address bar. But the session is restarted. Wt makes a distinction between a session (or a session cookie, if used) and a user-logged-in cookie. It's natural to have a logged-in cookie, since that is normally shared between all tabs in a browser. The session tracking mechanism is intended to keep two different instances of your application separated. Compare again to gmail: you don't need to log in if you hit reload or open it a new tab. But as I already said: there is also a method in Wt to not create a new session on reload, but then you have to accept that there is a visible session descriptor in the URL.
