# Profile Attributes Cookie Maxage

Number of seconds before expiration of custom cookies or the pre-authentication cookie, `agent-authn-tx`.

Pre-authentication cookies expire when the first of the following events occurs:

* Authentication completes successfully

* They reach the age configured by this property

If POST data preservation is enabled, the request expires after the time specified in [POST Data Entries Cache Period](com.sun.identity.agents.config.postcache.entry.lifetime.html), which is by default 10 minutes. In this case, consider increasing the value of this property to at least 600 seconds.

Default: `300`
