/**
 * Client-side storage for sessions using HTTP cookies.
 *
 * Accepts the following options:
 *
 * - expireAfter      The number of seconds after which sessions expire.
 *                    Defaults to 0 (no expiration)
 *
 * Note: Cookies are only able to reliably store about 4k of data. Also, sending
 * and receiving large cookies can have a significant impact on overall server
 * response time (see http://yuiblog.com/blog/2007/03/01/performance-research-part-3/).
 * For these reasons, if you are planning on storing a lot of data in the session
 * you may want to use a server-side storage, such as mach.session.RedisStore.
