Generate Cookie JS [duplicate]

  • 772

I am generating a cookie that expires in 9 minutes, but when I want to observe it, it is 2 hours less than the creation time.

enter image description here

The cookie has been created at 09:10:00 am and in the expires of the image it says 07:17....

The code is:

                if($cookies.get('uuid') != undefined ) {
                    $cookies.remove('uuid');
                }
                var dt = new Date().getTime();
                var uuid = 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[xy]/g, function(c) {
                    var r = (dt + Math.random()*16)%16 | 0;
                    dt = Math.floor(dt/16);
                    return (c=='x' ? r :(r&0x3|0x8)).toString(16);
                });

                var expiresValue = new Date(today);
                expiresValue.setMinutes(today.getMinutes() + 9);
                $cookies.put("uuid",uuid, {'expires': expiresValue});

I need the cookie to expire in 9 minutes from its creation, thank you very much!

    The time is correct, it is simply displayed as Coordinated Universal Time (or Zulu time, hence the Z at the end), formerly known as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time):

    let now = new Date();
console.log(now);

    You are in Spain, whose time during summer time is GMT +2 (two hours above universal time), therefore you will see that two hours are "subtracted" when displaying the values.
