The maximum expiry time for cookies 🍪 is 400 days in Chrome (developer.chrome.com/en/blog/cookie-max-age-expires/), following RFC 6265bis httpwg.org/http-extensions/draft-ietf-httpbis-rfc6265bis.html#name-the-expires-attribute. Before, you could set your cookies to expire effectively never. Why 400 days? For sites like your tax office's that you access just once a year!
