Session duration ?

page a gets the user name and password.
page b checks them and, if valid, sets a kennel_id in a session
variable.

this works fine.

in testing, I reenter the site and discover that my session
variables are still valid.

How long does the session stay valid ?

I know I can change the duration of the cookie to limit the
session time, and will do so.

Of importance here are:
session.cookie_lifetime
session.gc_maxlifetime
session.gc_probability
session.gc_divisor
