This change does not impact session cookies—cookies that do not explicitly set an expiration date with Max-Age or Expires—as these are instead cleared when the browsing session ends.
Sound like either set by server in header or it session cookie.
Permanent cookies are deleted after the date specified in the Expires attribute:
or after the period specified in the Max-Age attribute:
Session cookies — cookies without a Max-age or Expires attribute – are deleted when the current session ends. The browser defines when the "current session" ends, and some browsers use session restoring when restarting. This can cause session cookies to last indefinitely.
Unless something has recently changed in the standards, there is no such thing as a default cookie lifetime. If a web site creates a cookie without defining the expiration time, it is to be kept until the end of the session (i.e. when the user closes the browser).
Note that browser extensions exist that can delete cookies early under certain conditions, such as when they are from a tab that hasn't been used for an extended period of time.
I did, all I found was how to define the cookielife time by yourself, not what the default value is... :<
I found this thread discussing it, they found the maximum lifespan to be around 400 days for the different browsers. However Google Docs state that it can be longer than 400 days if specified correctly.

As far as I have understood it those are two different things; Cookie lifetime(locally on your device), as well as the servers cookie, reffered to as company/vendors retention period, e.g. how long they are allowed to keep your data for.
