SYMPTOMS
========
Cookies are not deleted for my site when the Passport user closes the browser
window.
CAUSE
=====
If cookies are not deleted when a Passport user closes the browser window, one
of the following may be the cause:
- The user has more than one window open to your site, or the site creates
multiple window instances when users view it.
Some Microsoft Internet Explorer versions earlier than 5.0 consider a browser
session to be open as long as any browser window is open. Also, certain
factors cause new browser windows to launch out of the same process as an
already open process, and as part of propagating the session, various cookies
or permissions may be propagated from the parent to the child. Because of
this, the session can still be "live" after one or more browser windows have
been closed, even if the remaining windows are no longer viewing a Passport
site.
- The user has selected the Remember my Password or Keep Me Signed In option.
If the user has selected the Remember my Password or Keep Me Signed In option,
the domain-authority cookies become persistent cookies that are saved on the
browser. Depending on your implementation, a saved password may mean that the
participant cookies can be refreshed silently when the user returns to your
site.
