Hi @jpeprah ,

You can try using the code snippet below.

Step 1: Go to Online Store > Themes > edit code and find theme.liquid

Step 2: Insert  it just above the closing  </body> tag.

<script id="session-cookie">
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    
    function getCookie(name) {
        let value = `; ${document.cookie}`;
        let parts = value.split(`; ${name}=`);
        if (parts.length === 2) return parts.pop().split(';').shift();
    }

    function setCookie(name, value, days) {
        let expires = '';
        if (days) {
            let date = new Date();
            date.setTime(date.getTime() + (days * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
            expires = `; expires=${date.toUTCString()}`;
        }
        document.cookie = `${name}=${(value || '')}${expires}; path=/`;
    }

    const customerCookie = getCookie('customer');

    if (customerCookie) {
        const lastRedirectDate = getCookie('account_redirect_date');
        const now = new Date().getTime();
        const redirectDate = lastRedirectDate ? new Date(parseInt(lastRedirectDate)).getTime() : 0;
        const daysSinceRedirect = (now - redirectDate) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);

        if (daysSinceRedirect < 30) {
            window.location.href = '/account';
        } else {
            document.cookie = 'customer=; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 UTC; path=/;';
            setCookie('account_redirect_date', now, 30);
            window.location.href = '/account/login';
        }
    } else {
        document.cookie = 'account_redirect_date=; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 UTC; path=/;';
    }
});
</script

Hope this can help you !

Thank you for your swift response, but unfortunately that solution did not work, I log in but did not remember the session cookie, I click on my account and instead of taking me to the account page, I was redirected to login again to login even though I I have already login.

Any help will be appreciated, I have been working on it for days.

[jpeprah]

I was able to figure this out. Thank you.

Hi @jpeprah , 

You need to ensure that when you successfully log in, the customer's information is saved in a cookie.

Any how do I do that? I want  session information to be saved in a cookie for 30days so that customers don't have to log in every time.

How did you login? Through API?
