GitLab uses both session and persistent cookies:
- Session cookie: Session cookies are normally removed at the end of the browser session when the browser is closed. The `_gitlab_session` cookie has no expiration date.
-- Persistent cookie: The `remember_me_token` is a cookie with an expiration date of two weeks. GitLab activates this cookie if you click Remember Me when you sign in.
+- Persistent cookie: The `remember_user_token` is a cookie with an expiration date of two weeks. GitLab activates this cookie if you click Remember Me when you sign in.
By default, the server sets a time-to-live (TTL) of 1-week on any session that is used.
