I did, all I found was how to define the cookielife time by yourself, not what the default value is... :<

I found this thread discussing it, they found the maximum lifespan to be around 400 days for the different browsers. However Google Docs state that it can be longer than 400 days if specified correctly. https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/cookie-maximum-lifespan/105916/5
