Could you explain this request; what is the reason and which problem\(s\) might be appear?

I can understand the use of storing admin cookies only temporarily. However, the hard thing is to deterimine how long to store them. At the moment, it is not possible to log in one script without allowing other scripts access, too. Is it worth the effort rewriting the cookie handling code?
