Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cookie-lifetime-audit scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/process.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 186 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

Cookie lifetime is a critical compliance factor often overlooked in consent implementations. The CNIL recommends a maximum cookie lifetime of 13 months from the point of collection, after which consent must be renewed. The CJEU in Planet49 (Case C-673/17) established that cookie duration must be disclosed to users before consent is obtained. Additionally, browser-enforced restrictions — Safari's Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP), and Chrome's third-party cookie deprecation — impose technical limits on cookie lifetimes that may conflict with server-set durations. A cookie lifetime audit identifies cookies exceeding regulatory or technical limits and ensures accurate duration disclosure.

Session vs. Persistent Cookies

Type Duration Behavior Consent Implications
Session cookie No Expires or Max-Age attribute Deleted when browser closes Still requires consent if non-essential under ePrivacy Art. 5(3)
Persistent cookie Has Expires or Max-Age Survives browser restart Requires consent; duration must be disclosed (Planet49)
Server-refreshed Reset on each visit via Set-Cookie Effectively indefinite if user visits regularly Duration is from last visit, not first set — must disclose rolling nature

Duration Categories

Category Duration Range Examples Regulatory Concern
Short-lived < 24 hours Session IDs, CSRF tokens Low — typically strictly necessary
Medium-lived 24 hours - 30 days A/B test assignments, session replay Medium — review necessity
Long-lived 30 days - 13 months Analytics IDs, preference cookies High — must justify duration
Excessive > 13 months Legacy tracking cookies, _ga (2 years) Very high — CNIL non-compliant duration

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
