You may need to phrase that a bit more clearly to get a good answer.
Of course you must be logged in to see your account details!
If your browsers have cookies enabled you can remain logged in on multiple machines.
If your cookies are cleaned up then that logs you out on that machine, but you stay logged in on any other machine which retains its cookies.

Sorry about that, so it is the cookies that I need to save on both machines so that I can view my account on Seti.

Yes. If you are deleting cookies every time you shut down then the machine has no way of remembering where you went & how to log in - that's what cookies do!

Yes, something happens and despite being asked to stay logged in, you will be logged out. That something seems to usually happen after a project has had a problem. Suspect the restore on their side breaks the cookie on your side.

Not all cookies are created equal. Some are desireable and others are undesireable. I use CCleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com/) to manage my cookies. It allows me to pick out the ones I want to keep and get rid of the rest. It's a freeware program.
