Don't confuse what happens on the browser with what happens
on the server. The cookie value that JSP uses to find the
HttpSession object may be lost from the browser when it closes
but the servlet engine still has the object in memory.
You can explicitly destroy the HttpSession object
by session.invalidate() or you can just let
it time out and be invalidated by the engine.
