Changing just _cac does not do it. I'm working on figuring out which cookies to change.

I've changed the expiry date on _cac and preferences and it's not asking me to log back iafter about 30 minutes.

I think the problem has resolved. I visited a bunch of libraries, and I was logged into all of them.

I did take a look at one library I logged into and it's still showing the _cac cookie expiring in 10 min and the preferences cookie expiring in 5 minutes. So I'm not confident that it's fixed. I'll know soon when I'm logged out or not.

I just tested one of my libraries and without changing the end date of the to above mentioned cookies, it will make you log back in in around 10 minutes.
But at least we know know the solution to fix the problem. |

If i can add my 2 cents. I use Firefox and use the NYPL overdrive web site. Like everyone else here I have been getting signed out after about 10 minutes. I followed the advice of others in this thread and I downloaded the cookie manager extension( note: NOT the cookie quick manager) . Then being on the NYPL overdrive web page I opened the cookie manager for that web page and scrolled down to the cookie for preferences. I changed the expiration date to 6/dec/2032 and then saved it. Since I am 76 years old I figured either I might expire before the cookie--lol or probably get a new computer before then. Everything seems to be working just fine since then. One additional note. If I left the cookie manager enabled every time I opened Firefox besides opening my home page it also opeend a tab with the cookie manager as well. so I then disabled the cookie manager extension. The expiration date seems fixed at 2032 as I had set it. I hope this info is helpful
