How long does the login cookie last?

I just realized I forgot to log out of the forums while I was at school today. While I doubt anyone will go there before I get there to log out tomorrow, I was wondering how long it takes to be automatically logged out from a computer?

Lasts until it gets deleted I believe.

It lasts until deleted but only if you choose to "remember" yur login on that computer - I NEVER do it while at school even thogh I have a "private" computer at school and I don't think that many even knows about anandtech.com at my school - hard to belive - I know - I haven't seen one in +2 years (except my dear friend )

I never have it set to remember login info. However, when that box is unchecked, how long does it last? I don't think it expires when the browser window is closed, but I just got here and I wasn't logged in (woohoo!). No one here uses anandtech except my friend, whom I've told about it recently, so I should be fine, but just for security's sake, does anyone know (or can they check) how long it lasts?

If you dont check it is set to expire once the browser is closed. If its not its an issue on your end. If you have ever checked it then its set to stay.
