Comment (by johnbillion):

 There's two "expiration" values for this cookie. The `$expiration`
 variable is how long the value of the hash in the cookie remains valid
 (which is either 14 or 2 days depending on `$remember`). The `$expire`
 variable is how long the cookie remains valid in the browser, which is 14
 days when `$remember` is set or 0 if not, meaning it's a session cookie in
 the latter case.
