If a user has their privacy settings set to "HIGH" in IE it requires a P3P compact policy header to accept file cookies. It you used a session cookie, IE users would have that issue, but it also wouldn't have a timeout value. It would require the browser to be closed. If you truly want to timeout your persistence cookies, I would recommend looking into how Facebook and Google get around the P3P policy. I'm not going to link to it, but a simple search should find the info required.
