To control how long the Supabase authentication token persists in cookies in your Nuxt 3 app, you need to configure the cookie's expiration settings. In Nuxt, you can use the useCookie composable to manage cookies, including setting their expiration with the maxAge (in seconds) or expires (Date object) options. If you don't set these options, the cookie will be session-only and removed when the browser is closed. If you want the token to persist for a specific duration, set maxAge or expires accordingly.
Example:
This will make the accessToken cookie persist for 7 days. Adjust the value as needed for your use case. If you want the cookie to be removed when the browser closes, simply omit maxAge and expires options.
For more details, see the official documentation on cookie expiration options: Nuxt useCookie: maxAge / expires.
If you're using the Supabase Nuxt module, check if it exposes options for cookie configuration, or manage the cookies directly as shown above. If you need to remove the token (e.g., on logout), set the cookie value to undefined:
This approach works both on the client and server side in Nuxt 3 apps Nuxt useCookie composable.
