Bind cookie to IP address

The login page has a login option to bind cookie to IP address. If there's a help FAQ about this, please direct this bear of little brain to it. Otherwise, I'd be grateful for a bit more explanation.

I'm not sure if there's a FAQ about it, of if this answers your question, but in an effort to be helpful: I think the idea is that if you bind the cookie to the IP address, you will only remain logged in from the point of view of that internet connection. So if you go to a friend's house or the library, where you have a different IP address, then you will not be logged in.
