Yes, i've check it. It seems IE6 somewhat elongates cookie lifetime,
maybe due to caching or time alignment, but not in fatal (need more
tests to be certain). But, actually, the main reason for my wonder
was a stupid bug in my php code.

Anyway, that mistake was useful. It makes it clear for me that it
would be better to do not rely on client in this sensitive point.
I'll force cookie expiration policy on the server-side by saving
(protected) time stamp in the cookie.

And what can you say about p3p? I've found some assertions that
a web site needs a P3P policy for cookies to work properly in IE6
(e.g. http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread162720.html )

Thanks a lot for this info.

Well, all the things in this world have benefits and disadvantages..
Peace, no holy war \o/ ;) I'm in great respect for Linux :-)
Moreover, in the final shape it will be hosted on Linux, of course.
