Pete,
BIG-IP sets persistence cookie on every response. So, if you set expiration time of X minutes on it, it will expire after X minutes of inactivity. Persistence cookies get new lifetime equal to the expiration time on every response.
Moreover, the cookie "expiration" is actually done by the client. Clients must not send a cookie past it's expiration back to the server/BIG-IP. If a client sends expired peristence cookie, BIG-IP will use it because it does not store cookies and so it has no way to detect a stale one.
