Js-cookie: Sessions Cookie is not expired after browser close

[BonBonSlick]

import * as Cookie from 'js-cookie';
        Cookie.set('session', 'test');

// cookies created
// close browser
// open browser, cookie exists

According to docs

expires
Define when the cookie will be removed. Value can be a Number which will be interpreted as days from time of creation or a Date instance. If omitted, the cookie becomes a session cookie.

Cookie set once when form submitted, so after browser reopen it will not be set. Is this expected behaviour?

This is not expected behavior. Could you let us know which browser you‘re using, whether you observe the same behavior in a different browser, and which extensions you‘re using?

I encounter the issue too, using chrome 70.

I found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10617954/chrome-doesnt-delete-session-cookies

Do you have “Continue where I left off” activated?

Do you have “Continue where I left off” activated?

So that explains it. Thx!

[BonBonSlick]

Yes, “Continue where I left off” is enabled in my browser Google Chrome 70.

So Chrome still keeps the cookie for the “Continue where I left off” functionality? I have probably seen this in the past but we never documented it. Is it worth documenting this problem in the README @BonBonSlick @jakiefeng @carhartl?

[FagnerMartinsBrack]

I'll close for now but if it's worth documenting something we can reopen 👍

[BonBonSlick]

I think yes, it should be documented, or mentioned to avoid future questions like this.
