The session in CodeIgniter do not use the default PHP $_SESSION . It uses its own implementation with cookies. That's why it's not destroyed when you close your browser.
You can also use session with database in CodeIgniter with the option $config'sess_use_database' = TRUE and other things you will find here : http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/sessions.html.
