do cookie files ever expire?

[H4ck]

I have some cookie files from a year ago.....i have not really logged into the paypal accounts.....I am concerned if the cookies files are still valid?

does any bright individuals have any ideas?

Look up the different types of cookies. Some expire after 1 hour, some after 1 day, some after 1 week, some after 1 year, and some never expire.

EDIT: You would need to check and see what kind of cookies you're dealing with in order to find out if they've expired or not.

Depends on the website, and the preferences they've set for it.

nevermind,

I found the answer....I used an addon tool that showed me cookie files from paypal and the expiration date........apparently it expires in 10 years......

Just don't eat the 10 year old cookies....

Seriously though if you get on that account even a couple times a year, it'll never really expire.
