Why deleting/removing cookies in WordPress does not log me out from admin?

Well, for those who are curious, and to the best of my knowledge/investigation: it turns out this was a strange bug/issue of Chrome Portable* version 47* I was using on my older laptop. It does not happen in other browsers and regular Chrome installation.

  • (with Windows XP, because of EOL support)
