You can override the date on which persisted cookies expire by modifying the Windows registry or the Siebel Analytics Web configuration file instanceconfig.xml to add the following entry.

The format for the date is "day, dd mon year hh:mm:ss GMT", where:


`day`	The standard three-letter abbreviation for the day of the week.

`mon`	The standard three-character abbreviation for the month.
`year`	The 4-digit year.
`hh:mm:ss`	The hour, minutes and seconds.

It is recommended that you do not change this entry.
