Browser Session

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi All,
 
According to a book, the cookie without expires lasts the browser session.  I think a browser session ends if you close all the browser windows.  I setup a cookie without expires in IE using _javascript_ and closed it.  When I open IE agian, the cookie is still there.  Why?
 
Thank you.
