Google recently announced that their cookies will now automatically delete after two years, unless the same website is visited again, in which case any associated cookies will be "renewed" for another two years. From the BBC:
Peter Fleischer, Google's global privacy counsel, said
in a statement: "After listening to feedback from our users and from
privacy advocates, we've concluded that it would be a good thing for
privacy to significantly shorten the lifetime of our cookies."
Of note, you can still dump your cookies whenever you want by visiting the preferences menu in your browser.
