  4. Cookie Timeout[ Go to top ]

    If you don't specify a maxage value when writing the session cookie, it will be treated as a temporary cookie by the browser, and destroyed when the browser is closed. Any new browser sessions will not have this cookie, and therefore the application server will initiate a new session.
