The life span of JavaScript cookies depends on how long you set when creating cookies for example the following set a lifetime of 10 minutes. There is no way to get the cookie without expiration, i.e. you can set a life time cookie.

```
expiry = new Date();
expiry.setTime(date.getTime()+(10*60*1000));
```

// Ten minutes

// Date()'s toGMTSting() method will format the date correctly for a cookie

```
document.cookie = 'visited=yes; expires=' + expiry.toGMTString();
```
