Because sessions are as they suggest - they remain while the session is open, i.e. the browser is open (assuming there is some activity that keeps the session alive, also).

Anyway, cookies are stored in the browser, so the user can close the browser and, if the cookie has a long enough lifetime, then the cookie will be available when the user returns.

Not only are your sessions destroyed with no activity (Like when a user closes a browser) but when they come back to your site after opening the browser again, they will be given a new session. So you should be pretty safe with sessions. Recording whether a user is still online or not is a little more tricky, but I don't think that's what you want?
