+limit-cookie-lifetime
+
+
+
+ Typical use:
+
+ Limit the lifetime of HTTP cookies to a couple of minutes or hours.
+
+
+
+
+ Effect:
+
+
+ Overwrites the expires field in Set-Cookie server headers if it's above the specified limit.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Type:
+
+
+ Parameterized.
+
+
+
+
+ Parameter:
+
+
+ The lifetime limit in minutes, or 0.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Notes:
+
+
+ This action reduces the lifetime of HTTP cookies coming from the
+ server to the specified number of minutes, starting from the time
+ the cookie passes Privoxy.
+
+
+ Cookies with a lifetime below the limit are not modified.
+ The lifetime of session cookies is set to the specified limit.
+
+
+ The effect of this action depends on the server.
+
+
+ In case of servers which refresh their cookies with each response
+ (or at least frequently), the lifetime limit set by this action
+ is updated as well.
+ Thus, a session associated with the cookie continues to work with
+ this action enabled, as long as a new request is made before the
+ last limit set is reached.
+
+
+ However, some servers send their cookies once, with a lifetime of several
+ years (the year 2037 is a popular choice), and do not refresh them
+ until a certain event in the future, for example the user logging out.
+ In this case this action may limit the absolute lifetime of the session,
+ even if requests are made frequently.
+
+
+ If the parameter is 0, this action behaves like
+ session-cookies-only.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Example usages:
+
+
+ +limit-cookie-lifetime{60}
