Ohh, that's the disconnect:  It should _never_ share the session-id
with any other site, that's sort of the entire point.

As for how long the session lasts ?

By default: Until user switches to another site, closes the
tab/window/computer or by other means makes the intention clear.

*unless* the user by positive action indicates to the user-agent
that she wants a persistent session to that site.
