A 20-year-long permanent cookie: America.gov and tracking

The US government has launched a new website, America.gov, which uses a 20-year-long cookie to track user interactions. The website's login system, Login.gov, uses a cookie that remains active for 20 years, even after the user closes the browser. This has raised concerns about user privacy, as the cookie can be used to track user behavior across different websites and devices. The Login.gov system is used by multiple government agencies, and it is unclear how many other websites use the same tracking mechanism.
