It's due to the IE issue where a largely fictitious date would not be valid; as a "fix" the cookie date is set as 7 days (ie the cookie will be invalid after this date). Myself I think a month would have been a better value.

You can change this, but it wouldn't be supported and you'd have to edit coding to be a different value.
