First off, I hope this is in the right area.<br />
<br />
I'm writing a PHP script at the moment for a simple site which incorporates cookie-based logins. There is a &quot;permanent login&quot; function, for which a cookie is set, with a long lifetime.<br />
<br />
My question is: is there a maximum lifetime for a cookie, and if so what is it?<br />
<br />
If anyone knows the answer to this I'd be very grateful. I have tried 365 days so far, and that works fine.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Maximum Cookie Lifetime?

Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
