javascript set cookie with expire time

Question

I am setting a cookie by Javascript and it is working fine but it is not taking the expire time I am giving. It keeps on taking session value regardless of what I give, belo

Answer 1

Use like this (source):

function setCookie(c_name,value,exdays)
{

var exdate=new Date();
exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays);
var c_value=escape(value) + ((exdays==null) ? "" : "; expires="+exdate.toUTCString());
document.cookie = c_name+"="+c_value+"; path=/";
}

Answer 2

Your browser may be configured to accept only session cookies; if this is your case, any expiry time is transformed into session by your browser, you can change this setting of your browser or try another browser without such a configuration
