Question
How does the Google single sign on works (OR any website's SSO)? For example, once I login to the Gmail, it lets me see "My places" on Google Maps without signing in again? Same with Yahoo mail and Yahoo notepad.
I am guessing this checking is done locally within the browser. But any more details would be appreciated.
