If the cookie was saved in any way (maliciously or not: session hijacking, restored backup, etc), they are logged in. That's exactly the problem, thanks for pointing it out.
If they had "logged off" (or closed the session), no amount of cookie resurrection would log them back in: the server would refuse that cookie session the same way it would refuse an expired password.
What about incognito sessions?
