It doesn't. From the server perspective there is no such thing as "being
logged in" in HTTP. The browser sends authorization information with
each and every request once you entered the details and they are checked
by the server for every request.

The illusion of "being logged in" is just an effect of your browser
remembering username and password and sending them again without further
bothering you to re-enter them.
