Cookie expire at Session instead of date.

[BobSquarePants]

Hi everyone, I create a cookie this way in flask

set_cookie('aName','aValue',expires=unixepoch,samesite="Strict",secure=True,httponly=True)

unixepoch is either a int or a str with a unixepoch in the future but still in the browser dev tool the cookie will expire after the session.. any ideas ?

Thanks.

I can't reproduce the issue as described. Setting a cookie with an expires date in the future does persist it across browser sessions. Be sure to include a reproducible example when asking a question.

Thanks @davidism

Here a more complete example

@app.route('/anEndpoint', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def anEndpoint():
    resp = make_response(redirect('/'))	
    resp.set_cookie('aName','aValue',expires=unixepoch,samesite="Strict",secure=True,httponly=True)
    return resp

btw I'm running Flask 2.2.2

I can't reproduce the issue with this example. When I use a date in the future for the unixepoch variable which you didn't provide, it works as expected.

That Internet browser had in the options "Clear cookies etc.. when closing.." so the browser was setting all cookies and any other storage as "session expire"
