Sharing data

Name
rss_feed_cache
Expiration
In most cases, the duration is tied to the cache expiration period, which can range from a few minutes to several hours, or even up to a day. This ensures that the cached RSS feed remains valid until the cache expires, and the system regenerates the feed. Typically, the cookie will last for the duration of the cached feed (often up to a few hours) or until the cache is manually cleared (which you can always to at any time).
Function
To help manage the caching of the RSS feed. It indicates that a cached version of the feed is being served, helping to reduce the load on the server by avoiding repeated regeneration of the feed for every visitor. Essentially, it allows the caching system to check whether the cached RSS feed is still valid or whether it needs to be regenerated. The cookie acts as an indicator of whether the RSS feed is coming from the cache and ensures that the feed isn't repeatedly generated from scratch for every user
Name
rss_feed_cache_time
Expiration
Typically lasts for a few hours or until the cache is manually cleared or refreshed. In many cases, the cookie will persist until the cache expires (which you can do anytime), which could range from a few minutes to several hours or even a day
Function
To store the timestamp of when the RSS feed cache was last updated or refreshed. This helps the system decide whether it should serve a cached version of the feed or regenerate the feed. By using a cache, it helps reduce the load on the server by preventing unnecessary regeneration of the feed on each request.
