Hi Jason, Thanks for your response.
As mentioned in my earlier post...I have a long expiry date for the sessions (and hence, the cookies) as we want our users to be always logged in or in session (till they clear their cookies). And that's what is causing the issue. The goal is to keep the regular users logged in whereas flush out the non active users (even if their sessions haven't expired). Hence, was looking for a solution for the same. Thanks.
