Hi!

I have reproduced the bug consistently with my account (but didn't test it on any other accounts).

Pre-requisites:
- PoE account (A-PoE) linked with steam account (A-Steam)
- Logged out on https://www.pathofexile.com/
- Logged in on https://store.steampowered.com/ (Steam site)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open https://www.pathofexile.com/, press log in
2. Click on "Sing in through STEAM" button on the right
3. Approve logging in on Steam site (with A-Steam)
4. Await returning back to PoE site (you should be logged in A-PoE successfully)
5. Close the browser
6. Re-open the browser and head back to https://www.pathofexile.com/

Expected: I should be logged in with A-PoE account
Actual: I'm logged out and now I have to log in again

It was working as expected sometime around October-November, can't really tell when it stopped.

Here's some screenshots of the process, as well as a screenshot of my cookies list on PoE site after step 4.

Spoiler

As you can see, POSESSID cookie "expires" set on "Session", rather than at a fixed time.

When I log in with an email (rather than steam), and set the tick on "Remember me" - POSESSID cookie expires in a month or smth like that, rather than in a session.

Note: My account didn't have an email linked to it before today, I had only a steam ID. I reproduced this bug before I linked an email and after I linked it.

It is no longer an issue for me, as I have linked my account with an email and can stay logged in that way.
Seems pretty minor to me, but might be helpful to other people.

Thanks!
