All joking aside, I ran into an issue at work with my main desktop not being able to stay logged in after you've closed the browser. I also had issues with this site being unable to login via FB and would have to reload the page to attempt to login normally.
I corrected this problem by completely uninstalling Chrome and then reinstalling again. Whatever the problem is it was corrected with the reinstallation. Anothing thing too; no matter what options you had set for browser behavior (stay logged in, log out after close, etc.) changing them had no effect on the browser behavior and would still log me out of every single website I had login cookies for.
Just so your aware too, you and I are not the only persons who've had this problem, however Google didn't have a fix for it the last time I looked before uninstalling - About a month ago.
My suggestion: Uninstall Chrome, reboot, reinstall chrome, then try again to see if it works properly.

THE ONLY AND ONLY - Not sure if there can be only one...
