It means the cookie will expire at the end of the session (when the browser closes, but not always).

When user privacy is a concern, It is important that any web app implementation will invalidate cookie data after a certain timeout and won't rely on the browser clearing session cookies.

One of the most beloved features of Firefox prevents session cookies from ever expiring. The same issue is also occuring with google chrome (and probably with other browsers offering similar features)
