You can't guarantee the session will be closed when the browser closes -
all you can do is recommend it. Since it's on the user's computer, the
user can change the value and/or have the browser ignore it all together.
I'd recommend you just leave it at 90 minutes - or keep it short, i.e.
15 minutes, to ensure they are still active.
