Why Doesn’t Closing A Tab Delete A Session Cookie?

by

The session cookie is per-process not per window. So even if you selected New Window you’d still get the same session id. This behavior makes sense. You wouldn’t want a user to re-sign in each time they opened a new window while browsing your site.

I’m not aware off hand of any real way around this.
