The function I'm using sets the cookie expiration in this part of the code:
time += 3600 * 1000;
It expires in an hour. How to set this to expire in 10 years?

You can extend the life of a cookie beyond the current browser session by setting an expiration date and saving the expiry date within the cookie. This can be done by setting the 'expires' attribute to a date and time.
Persistent cookies are not deleted by the browser when the user closes it. These cookies have an expiration date that you can set in your server. You can set a cookie to expire in a day or ten years.
php setcookie("TestName", "Test Value", time()+3600 * 24 * 365); ?> >> Here 'TestName' is name of cookie. >> "Test Value" is value to store. >> time()+3600 * 24 * 365 - will set cookie time till 1 year.
Or you might use mktime(). time()+60*60*24*30 will set the cookie to expire in 30 days. If not set, the cookie will expire at the end of the session (when the browser closes). The path on the server in which the cookie will be available on.
Note: toGMTString() is deprecated since Jun 23, 2017, 9:04:01 AM and should no longer be used. It remains implemented only for backward compatibility; please use toUTCString() instead.
For more information: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toGMTString
var CookieDate = new Date;
CookieDate.setFullYear(CookieDate.getFullYear() +10);
document.cookie = 'myCookie=to_be_deleted; expires=' + CookieDate.toGMTString() + ';';
You can still achieve the same result just by replacing toGMTString() with toUTCString() as so:
var CookieDate = new Date;
CookieDate.setFullYear(CookieDate.getFullYear() +10);
document.cookie = 'myCookie=to_be_deleted; expires=' + CookieDate.toUTCString() + ';';
