login control: remember me next time

what exactly does this do? does it control whether cookies are persisted
between sessions? I aske because the duration a cookie is stored seems to be
set in web.config:

<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms timeout="10368000"/>
</authentication
Does this value get used? Is the used value toggled between this and another
based on the value of the checkbox? If so, where is the other value set?
