How do you control the life-time of the session cookie AWS 
sends?

Some of us dislike using session cookies for stuff which 
isn't session specific.  Generally I prefer to store user 
preferences in individual cookies.  I want to keep track of 
my users, I just want their browser to send me their 
preferences when I need them.
