Use javascript setTimeout() function to trigger sessionStorage method to logout.

Something like

var logoutTimer = setTimeout(function() { sessionStorage.clear(); }, (10 * 60 * 1000));

And if for any reason you want to renew session duration, do:

clearTimeout(logoutTimer);
logoutTimer = setTimeout(function() { sessionStorage.clear(); }, (10 * 60 * 1000));
