Google shortens cookie lifespan...by 30 yrs !

[anandk]

Google has tipped its hand to privacy advocates and agreed to cut the lifespan of user cookies by up to 30 years, implementing a rolling two-year automatic-renewal policy instead.

Under the new policy, Google cookies will expire after two years instead of in 2038, according to the official Google blog.
