+  the browser is closed. The `_gitlab_session` cookie has no fixed expiration date. However,
+  it expires based on its [`session_expire_delay`](#why-do-i-keep-getting-signed-out).
 - Persistent cookie: The `remember_user_token` is a cookie with an expiration date of two weeks. GitLab activates this cookie if you click Remember Me when you sign in.
 
 By default, the server sets a time-to-live (TTL) of 1-week on any session that is used.
