Tyler, the manual pages appear to have changed sometime recently. They
used to state that the cookie would expire if no time was passed to it
when the browser was closed. I do not see that statement there any
longer.
However, note the remarks about older versions of some browsers not
setting cookies properly unless the time is specified. I have not
concerned myself with that on my sites, but it may be a factor to you.
