Have no idea what Otto[.]de is, nor do I have any plans to find out. But god damn thats a long as time. Its the equivalent of 9993 years if anyone was wondering…
Source; Cookie of a sketchy free VPN that I’m investigating.
browsers by default wont allow infinite cookies
Which is great, but do you know if that the case for Android apps too? As that is the case in this scenario?
how do you mean so? as in it’s a web app? They have access to persistant storage.
I wasnt thinking clearly… Somehow was thinking they stored cookies outside the browser, then I realised thats not how it works :P Thanks for pointing it out, ill try to find out the default values for cookie-lifetime across browsers next :)
If you don’t have your browser set to delete all cookies you haven’t made exceptions for, every time you close it, I don’t know what to tell you. Except… “you should do that”.
I use Firefox temporary containers. So not only are they deleted 5 mins after I close a tab, but different tabs don’t share cookies unless I explicitly allow it or the tabs are opened from one source (e.g. open link in new tab)
Sounds good. Is that an option on desktop and mobile as well? Do I need addons?
Privacy. By using containers and deleting cookies frequently, you can minimize the amount of tracking and data collecting these scum sucking corpos are doing.
Speaking about sketchy and durations…
The certificate for slrpnk.net expired on 5/6/2024.
Error code: SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE
How is that relevant here tho ? Not trying to be rude i just don’t get it .
OP fixed their certificate in the meantime so now I can actually see the image (without jumping through hoops to make firefox ignore the certificate error).
3650000 days looks like a honest mistake, should probably be exactly one year. Which is long, but not an eternity.
Not sure I’m following the issue with slrpnk.net cert, it’s up to date my end. 5/6/2024 hasn’t been yet… so its not expired hah.
I don’t think 3650000 is a typo, that’s four zeros away from being a year. Additionally, many of these cookies have a duration ranging from a few days all the way to 10 years or more.
I guess they are not using php.
First time I encountered a Y2038 bug in the wild. And apparently they still did not fix it for some inane reason.
