setMaxAge is unfortunately named -- looking at the code it appears
that HTTPCookies are actually immutable, and what setMaxAge does is
returns you a new cookie with the new settings.
Try:
val cookie = net.liftweb.http.provider.HTTPCookie(cookieName, user.uniqueId.is
).setMaxAge(2 weeks)
S.addCookie(cookie)
(I took the liberty of rewriting your manual date arithmetic to
TimeSpan syntax)
