What mechanism does a standard web connection implement to prevent old web session cookies from tracking a client browser indefinitely across the web?
A. Running continuous database search index queries
B. Altering local hardware MAC addresses dynamically
C. Configuring explicit 'Expires' or 'Max-Age' cookie parameters
D. Shifting unencrypted HTTP sites to alternative port lines
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The 'Expires' and 'Max-Age' attributes inside HTTP cookie creation strings specify the precise lifetime or timestamp after which a browser must delete that cookie.
Explanation:
Session cookies only exist in temporary volatile memory while the user navigates the site and are wiped upon closing the browser application.
