<p>I'm trying to set a session cookie in javascript, like this: </p> <pre class="brush:php;toolbar:false;">document.cookie = 'name=alex; path=/'</pre> <p>But even if I quit the browser and start it again, Chrome won't delete it. </p> <p> I checked in Firefox and Opera and both work as expected - they delete the session cookie when the browser exits. </p> <p>Did Chrome just ignore the expiration rule? </p> <p>I checked in multiple operating systems and found that session cookies are deleted in Chrome on Windows XP and Ubuntu, but not on Mac OSX Lion. </p>
