I thought there was more explicit language but didn't see it while writing the above comment.

Found it right after:
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/webstorage.html#user-tracking

"Expiring stored data"

> For example, a user agent could be configured to treat third-party local storage areas as session-only storage, deleting the data once the user had closed all the browsing contexts that could access it.
