1) Updating it with every response sounds lame.

that might share the session cookie.
Otherwise there will be inconsistencies and breakages.

Are you not confusing "max-age" with "last access" ?

The expiration of a cookie (like the expiration of a session), in my view should be calculated on the base of :
last access + max-age, compared to "now"

And then, there is the question of whether "last access" should be updated when the request is received, or when the response is sent. (Apparently the Servlet Spec has things to say on the matter, and some recently added Tomcat properties also).

There was another thread recently debating similar issues, in the context of long file upload requests.
