That's a cookie-specific setting: If you store the session data in a session-only cookie, it will disappear when the browser closes.

See this answer to make a browser-session cookie with express: Node.js/Express.js session management cookie to be session cookie

You can write your own session delete function on event 'disconnect'

socketServer.sockets.on('connection', function onSocket(client) {
    client.on('disconnect', function() {
        console.log("disconnect");
        // some code
    });

});
