I have not had the problem you describe either.  

If you are not familiar with cookies, a good place to start looking at
them is to download and install the current version of Firefox.  Once
you get it running, click on Tools > Add ons > get extensions (lower
right).  Then choose Web And Developer Tools and do a search for Web
Developer.  

Install Web Developer, restart Firefox.

To have a look at the cookies for the current web page, click on Tools
> Web Developer > Cookies > View Cookie Information.  Your Moin cookie
will have the ID Moin_ID.  Make a note of what it looks like when you
are logged on to Moin (expiration time?), and look again when you get
logged off.

Other browsers may have their own ways of looking at cookies.  There
are several other Firefox add-ons that you may find useful.
