Problem is now Solved.

For anyone with the same problem, the issue is caused by a bug called 'katana bug #197'.

The easiest fix is to download 'kentor.OwinCookieSaver' NuGet Package. and add app.UseKentorOwinCookieSaver(); above your Application cookie config in startup.

https://github.com/KentorIT/owin-cookie-saver

 // kentor.OwinCookieSaver for 'katana bug #197' (login cookies being destroyed on logout!)
            app.UseKentorOwinCookieSaver();
            app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions
            {
                AuthenticationType = DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie,
                CookieName="LoginCookie",
                LoginPath = new PathString("/Login/Login"),
                Provider = new CookieAuthenticationProvider
                {
                    OnValidateIdentity = SecurityStampValidator.OnValidateIdentity<ApplicationUserManager, ApplicationUser>(
                        validateInterval: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30),
                        regenerateIdentity: (manager, user) => user.GenerateUserIdentityAsync(manager))
                }
            });

Microsoft are aware of the issue and it will be resolved in 2015.
