Cookies

How do Session cookies work? I know that the server (IIS or whatever)
sends the client a cookie, which would contain an Id or whatever. But
IIS allows you to specify what happens when the client levaes (i.e.
quits their browser). How does it know when you quit your browser? Is it
timeout based? Or does the browser send the server some data saying its
leaving??
