JQuery Cookies Set Expire Time

Question

I have this:

if (typeof options.expires == 'number') {
date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime() + (options.expires * 5 * 1000));
} else {
date = options.expires;
}
expires = '; expires=' + date.toUTCString();

How to make cookies expire after 10 minutes?

Answer 1

 var date = new Date();
 var m = 10;
 date.setTime(date.getTime() + (m * 60 * 1000));
 $.cookie("cookie", "value", { expires: date });

Alternatively you could use a function:

function ExpireCookie(minutes) {
 var date = new Date();
 var m = minutes;
 date.setTime(date.getTime() + (m * 60 * 1000));
 $.cookie("cookie", "value", { expires: date });
}

Then do ExpireCookie(10);

Answer 2

10 minutes is 10 * 60 * 1000 milliseconds.

var date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime() + (10 * 60 * 1000));
$.cookie("example", "foo", { expires: date });
