Dave,
If you get the "Enter userid/password" popup box, this is just part of
normal web server authentication. Your browser remembers your
userid/password for this site internally (no cookie or anything) and the
next time the site asks for your userid/password again, the browser
automatically resends it.
No cookies, etc. are involved. And of course, since the browser is
keeping it in memory, when you close the browser it is forgotten.
