Problem
I'm trying to set session cookie in javascript like this: ``` document.cookie = 'name=alex; path=/' ``` But Chrome doesn't delete it even if I quit browser and launch it again. I checked in Firefox and Opera and both work as intended - they delete session cookie on browser exit. Is Chrome just ignoring expiration rules? I checked in multiple OSes and found out that session cookie gets removed on Chrome in Windows XP and Ubuntu, but NOT in Mac OSX Lion.
