When you are not logged in? The cookies are valid for quite a few years, making it "log in once and forger it" kind of website. Similar to imdb for example.


Are you really having trouble coming up with situations where I might not be logged in?

  * cleared cache/cookies
  * set up new computer / using new VM 
  * using alternate browser for testing
  * something on server-side invalidated cookie
