Can cookies set during a PHP session be configured to persist beyond the session's lifetime?

Cookies set during a PHP session typically expire when the session ends. To make cookies persist beyond the session's lifetime, you can set an expiration time for the cookie when you set it. This way, the cookie will remain on the user's browser even after the session ends.

// Set a cookie with an expiration time of 1 week
setcookie("example_cookie", "value", time() + (7 * 24 * 60 * 60), "/");
