setMaxAge

[Bharatesh H Kakamari]

When I provide 3600 as a parameter to setMaxAge for Cookies I means I am setting the Cookie age to one hour. How is one hour calculated at the server ? Is it one hour from the actual creation of the cookie. Is there a difference between the Cookie life-time and the actual one hour ?

It is one hour from the last accessed time stored in the session.
It is updated everytime you access the session.
