But if I do that and a client will close the browser without logging off, 
somebody else could open the browser and the app will recognize him as the 
owner of the account, so it could be a big security issue.
That's why I need to have cookies which are not saved and used after the 
browser was closed.

Can I set the expiry date and avoid that security risk?

Thank you.
