    There is no keep active setting, I don't think. What browser did you use? Did you try clearing your cache? Since its at work, it might be blocking cookies.

    Did you tick the 'Remember me' box?

    You're automatically logged out of boards when you have been inactive for a period of time, 15-20 minutes, I believe. There's nothing you can do to change that, so your options are: A) Refresh the page every 14 minutes or B) log back in everytime.

    The timeout of cookies are set in the admin side of boards. Usually 900 seconds is the norm.

    'Remember me' is just the function to override the timeout on your session.

    In any case you are worried about traces of your log in details being left on your boss's PC, when you're in another session again, just remember to click log out. This in return will actually clear all the cookies so that no log in info is left behind.
