What about adding max-age or expires attributes to the cookie using WebCookieManager#setCookie? 🤔

[dev-yakuza]

@gugadev WebCookieManager does not provide arguments and parameters about the max-age(expires).

So, I think you need to manage the cookies by yourself. I mean you store the max-age info in shared_preferences and check it every time to delete them.

[gugadev]

It looks like you need to pass the arguments in the value argument too, according to the RFC. For example:

WebViewCookie(
  name: "my-cookie",
  value: "$cookieValue;max-age=30000;",
  domain: "acme.com",
);

@gugadev Thanks for sharing the info.

I see the comments in the code.

  /// The cookie-value of the cookie.
  ///
  /// Its value should match "cookie-value" in RFC6265bis:
  /// https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-rfc6265bis-02#section-4.1.1
  final String value;

So, your solution is correct, I think.
