Our solution is

	$c->{authentication}{cookie_expires}

If this key is not provided it defaults to {expires}. If it exists
it will set the expiry time independently of the session data. If
it's undef it will create a non-persistent cookie.

People who disable cookies usually disable javascript first ;-)
