Immediately is a funny thing in web time. It can mean anything from right
now to the next time I close all my browser instances. What I usually do if
it's really important to know is put a marker in the user record. Something
like PersistentLogin=true. Then when the user logs out, set the Max Age to
0 and also set PersistentLogin to false. When the user comes back to the
site, both the cookie must be present and PersistentLogin must be true to
pass by the login screen.
