Question

Set CF's default cookie expiration time?

In CF8.

Our site lets CF store cfid/cftoken in CF's default session cookie. We don't need or do any custom cookie management.

Is there a way for us to set the default cookie's expiration time? Ideally, would like to set the cookie to expire when the browser closes.

Thank you.

Larry

cookies with no expiration set are 'session cookies' and expire when the
user closes the browser.

Thank you for the answer, but I was specifically asking about the default CFID and CFToken whose expiration is set to 30 years.

The approach I know of (documented here http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1131-Ask-Ben-Ending-ColdFusion-Session-When-User-Closes-Browser.htm) forces one to manually set the CFID/CFTOKEN cookies. Not difficult to do, but I looking for a setting to revise ColdFusion's default expiration date.

Thank you.
