Javascript Cookie with no expiration date

I would like to set up a cookie that never expires. Would that even be possible?

 document.cookie = "name=value; expires=date; path=path;domain=domain; secure";

I don't want to make the date really large, I am just wondering if there was a value for the expires parameter on the cookie that told it never to expire.

Thanks.

Nope. That can't be done. The best 'way' of doing that is just making the expiration date be like 2100.

There is no syntax for what you want. Not setting expires causes the cookie to expire at the end of the session. The only option is to pick some arbitrarily large value. Be aware that some browsers have problems with dates past 2038 (when unix epoch time exceeds a 32-bit int).

You can do as the example on Mozilla docs:

 document.cookie = "someCookieName=true; expires=Fri, 31 Dec 9999 23:59:59 GMT";

P.S

Of course, there will be an issue if humanity still uses your code on the first minute of year 10000 :)

All cookies expire as per the cookie specification, Maximum value you can set is

 2^31 - 1 = 2147483647 = 2038-01-19 04:14:07

So Maximum cookie life time is

$.cookie('subscripted_24', true, { expires: 2147483647 });

You could possibly set a cookie at an expiration date of a month or something and then reassign the cookie every time the user visits the website again
