Nonsense. A session cookie is *always* stored if the user allows it to be
set (otherwise it would be useless). What makes it special is that it
expires at the latest when the UA session ends ("the UA exits), often when
the last instance of a browser window or tab that belongs to the UA is
closed. To do so, its expiry must be the date of the moment when it is
set (which means a value of 0 for the Max-Age header, or the current local
date in the Expires/"expires" header/option), or a date in the past of the
current local date for the Expires/ "expires" header/option, or the
header/option must be omitted (because session cookies are the default).
UAs are allowed to discard a cookie prior to the expiry because of finite
storage space.
