The minimum number of days that can be set is 90 (approximately three months). For more information on how Optimizely uses cookies, visit our Learning Center.

Note: Some Optimizely cookies are reset every time a visitor comes to the site, which means the expiration period set with this API call is used each time the cookie is set. You can also use the API to enable or disable the extend cookie lifetime function.
