in thread What is Difference between Session and Cookie

The problem with sessions is that when you close your browser you also lose the session.

That is not a property of sessions.

If closing your browser deletes cookies, and deletes the session cookie, then there is nothing associating your browser and the session, and the session can be considered lost.

If however, a session is also associated with an account, breaking the association with the browser (deleting cookies) doesn't break the association with the account -- you can resume the session after you log-in again
