--- Comment #30 from Steven Walling <swall...@wikimedia.org> --- (In reply to Bawolff (Brian Wolff) from comment #29) > I strongly suggest this be discussed on meta before being implemented. > Especially given the less than positive response last time around. What response are you talking about? I haven't been aware of any recent previous discussion about this that was overly negative. For the record, any previous proposal to extend any cookie retention beyond 30 days should have been rejected or undone per the Wikimedia privacy policy, which expressly forbid such a thing. I think there might have been a period where it was 180 days, but that was undone IIRC. Getting rid of this hard requirement for Wikimedia sites is part of why we revised our privacy policy. You can see this reflected in comments during that lengthy discussion period.[1][2] Outside of the privacy policy discussion, I've repeatedly heard people asking for an option to be logged in longer than 30 days.[3][4][5] 1. "the expected improvements users should like this policy for (this is the only one mentioned so far apart from longer login duration, if I remember correctly)." https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Privacy_policy/Archives/2014 2.
