Sorry for the lack of progress on this. Going to have another stab at it now

Yeah, same here. :/ - and after logging in, the SID cookie has a lifetime of "Session"! The Expires header has disappeared again.
@Peter?

When visiting the site, the SID cookie is updated and the expires should be extended. It seems regardless of the code which very definitely is *trying* to set it to 365 days in the future, it is just failing sporadically.

On my login this morning it also did not have the expiry set.

Will update you all after a bit more testing on my end.

I've decided to just set the cookies with a different approach because I suspect there is a bug in the underlying code that I can't really do a whole lot about.

It's up now, so let's see if it's more reliable.

Thanks! I indeed see it having a lifetime of a year again. Fingers crossed! :)

@Peter: since I'm looking at cookies, a minor bug/improvement:

When returning to the forum for the first time - causing a new session to be started - the page tries to set the same two cookies three times, except once encoded:

set-cookie: GSI_REDIRECT=/forum.cfm; Path=/; Domain=travellerspoint.com
set-cookie: REF=forum; Path=/; Domain=travellerspoint.com
set-cookie: GSI_REDIRECT=%2Fforum.cfm%3F; Path=/; Domain=travellerspoint.com
set-cookie: REF=forum; Path=/; Domain=travellerspoint.com
set-cookie: GSI_REDIRECT=/forum.cfm; Path=/; Domain=travellerspoint.com
set-cookie: REF=forum; Path=/; Domain=travellerspoint.com

I don't think that's related, although there's a maximum number of cookies which can be stored per domain, so possibly in some way, if you do more strange cookie things in other places as well?

...and if those cookies are intended to bring me back to the forum after logging in, they're unfortunately failing quite badly, as I then always end up on the homepage.

OK, I try it again. Just have logged in. Curious how long it will stay.

The GSI_REDIRECT one is meant to bring you back but is only used by google sign in. The ref one is more for me to understand which parts of the site people are coming from when signing up. Not sure why they are tripling up like that though. Thanks for letting me know.
