Re: coockie expiration problems

OK, I found the reason, but not the solution yet: The cookie time during setting is the time taken from the server. The time for checking the coockie is the time of the local machine!! So what can I do if I would like to last the coockie for 1 hour and the person is sitting on the other site of the world running 10 hours time difference? Puhh.. maybe I am wrong, but this is how it seems to be. Any ideas?
