The information you want is not available server-side, because the
client does not pass the relevant data (the expiration, or lack of one)
in the HTTP-Cookie header. See the cookie spec[1] for details.
You need to be asking how to do what you want client-side, e.g. in
Javascript, or else find another solution to your problem.
