When you log in, make sure you use the "Remember Me" option (checkmark in the box) when you provide your username and password. That will enable cookies to be sent to your browser to remember your username and password for future visits (unless you delete your browser's cookies). If you don't use the "Remember Me" option, you may get logged out after 20 minutes and/or if you close your browser as cookies aren't used in that case and it's a temporary session that will terminate.

If you're using the "Remember Me" option but still having the issue, then the cookies are being deleted from your browser (either your browser is deleting them or a security software you have is deleting them), you used the log out link, or the cookies that your browser is using have become corrupt.
