Comment:

 If you take a look at [https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master
 /wp-includes/pluggable.php#L834-L855 the source of wp_set_auth_cookie()]
 you'll see that the actual cookie expiration time (the `$expire` variable)
 gets set to the value of the expiration time plus two hours. The cookie is
 only set to a per-session cookie if the user doesn't click the 'Remember
 me' checkbox when they log in.

 Do you have a plugin on your site which is overriding the
 `wp_set_auth_cookie()` function? Or do you have a custom login form which
 hides the 'Remember me' checkbox?
