- Added configuration for Jetty session cookie handling, allowing for persistent cookies based on the new `server.sessionCookieMaxAgeMinutes` setting. - Updated session inactivity timeout to extend from ~30 minutes to 30 days.
- Simplified Jetty session cookie handling by directly using the `sessionCookieMaxAgeMinutes` from the server configuration.
