Can the '_secure_session_id' cookie duration be extended for customer log in?

Hi all,

Shopify has developed an amazingly versatile platform that has allowed me to build a site which serves tailored in-browser content depending on a customer’s subscription status.

A major pitfall is the 24 hour duration of the ‘_secure_session_id’ cookie requiring customers to repeatedly log in every day, which is a real UX pain point.

I understand Shopify have their reasons, however it seems a mistake to provide such a versatile platform and then cripple it with such a brutal cookie policy.

Is there any way to extend the duration of time that customers can stay logged in?

Thank you!
