About Cookies in MVC

Question

Hello Everyone, I am saving Session values in cookies with following code : HttpCookie AlvloginCookie = new HttpCookie( "AlvLogin" ); //Set the Cookie value. AlvloginCookie.Values[ "Name" ] = Session[ "Name" ].ToString(); AlvloginCookie.Values[ "UserAuthKey" ] = Session[ "UserAuthKey" ].ToString(); AlvloginCookie.Values[ "Email" ] = Session[ "Email" ].ToString(); AlvloginCookie.Values[ "UserId" ] = Session[ "UserId" ].ToString(); AlvloginCookie.Path = Request.ApplicationPath; AlvloginCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(365); Response.SetCookie(AlvloginCookie); Response.Cookies.Add(AlvloginCookie); Using that cookies on page using following code : Request.Cookies["UserId"].Value; The cookies are getting created in browser, but it does not last long for 365 days. It is getting expired after couple fo hours. Anything I missed or any other suggestion would be really appreciated Thank you in advance

hello Everyone, Thank you for your responses. My storing and fetching cookies code is working. I can see cookies in my browser. But once i logged in to my project, it is not going to my dashboard page directly. It is going to login page again and asked to login. It should be directly redirected to Dashboard page. Thank you
