Description Fabian Mailinator 2008-04-20 15:32:37 PDT 
There is no facility for setting all cookies to expire at the end of a browser session.
This security feature is present in other browsers.

The old trick of setting the cookie file to read-only no longer works.

this probably wants to be resolved in the same fashion as bug 19411
The problem is apparently outside webkit and not under webkit developer control.
