I don't have a formed opinion on that.
I am open to hear suggestions

 From one side, we have the timeout session, i.e. if browser is closed 
for more than 10 minutes the session will timeout and the user will be 
asked for login

But in other hand, we could logout user when he/she closes the browser 
window to improve security.
