Do both totally close the connection?

Thanks

No. If you logged on, be sure to log off, THEN close the browser
window. Most will eventually time out if you just leave the site
without signing out, but that length of time varies. It's an
opportunity for someone else to peruse your data if you haven't logged
out.

Logging out does not necessarily close the connection: In fact, most of
the time they take you to a screen where you can log back on.
