</span>I've not used Dancer2::Session::Cookie, but I know the following works for the<br>
YAML session engine. Therefore, it might be worth trying the generic<br>
cookie_duration parameter instead:<br>
<br>
engines:<br>
session:<br>
YAML:<br>
session_dir: "/tmp/dancer-sessions"<br>
cookie_duration: 3600<br>

</span>To set a cookie:<br>
<br>
cookie MYCOOKIE => 'value', expires => '+2h', domain => $cookie_domain;<br>
<br>
(I guess the domain is optional - I've just copied that from existing code)<br>
<br>
To get a cookie:<br>
<br>
my $code = cookie 'MYCOOKIE'<br>
<br>
