cookies[:user_info] = {:value => “whatever”, :expires =>
30.days.from_now }
When I check in the browser, the cookie will expire “at end of session”
Oo What’s happening? How to set the cookie’s date then?
Thanks

The code looks fine. Are you sure you haven’t set your browser to
“Private Browsing”? Because that would result in all cookies expiring
at the end of the session.

Hi Peter,
I just checked and my browser is not in private mode. In the response I
can see that a header is set-cookie with a date forward in time, so
something strange is happening here.
Ok my bad. I tested in Safari and it works perfectly, so there is
something blocking in Firefox 3.6, but the expiry date setting works
with other sites, so I don’t understand what’s happening.
Is there some edge case scenario I’m missing here? Should all options of
the cookie be set?
"So stupid! I just noticed that in FF the option “Keep until: I close
Firefox” was set, I must have done that inadvertently.
Sorry for my silly problem.
