Hello,
Are leads tracking by cookie or only IPs? Mautic tracking pixel set just one cookie for anonymous lead and that cookie has session lifetime. Many internet providers set new IP for new connection. I want to follow anonymous leads even 3 days after first visit. How to increase cookie expire date? The cookie is deleted after session end even for known leads
Don’t you consider implement of ever cookie: [https://github.com/samyk/evercookie](https://github.com/samyk/evercookie)

I found a solution.
I need to increase session.cookie\_lifetime in my php config. You can do this in php.ini or htaccess
