  Craft's `CraftSessionId` cookie is simply the [PHP Session cookie](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.session-name.php) renamed and by default it's terminated when the browser is closed.
  
  Craft currently doesn't expose any way to alter that behavior, but you can always make a [feature request](http://feedback.buildwithcraft.com)!
