Class: Mack::SessionStore::Cookie

Stores session information in the user‘s cookie. The session information is encrypted using the mack-encryption library. This is the default session store for Mack applications. To set the expiry time for this session store use the following configatron setting:

  cookie_session_store::expiry_time: <%= 4.hours %>

It is recommend that you set the configatron setting ‘default_secret_key’ to something, otherwise it will generate a random one each time you start your application, which could make decrypting cookies a bit of a pain. :)
