Maybe using ini_set() to modify session.cookie_lifetime - but i'm not
sure if this is possible.

Another way would be to manage this "manually" - e.g. using the current
time and the time of the last activity of the user:

1) When the session is created also store the current time as a session
variable.

2) If there is already a session compare the current time with the time
recorded in the session and then either destroy the session, if the time
span is too long OR update the time in the session.

Sure - the cookie is still there as long as the browser is running.

See above.
