A cookie name must be, like Jay said, unique within a path. Practical user agent implementations have limits on the number and size of cookies that they can store. In general, user agents’ cookie support should have no fixed limits. They should strive to store as many frequently-used cookies as possible.
The cookie expiration refers to how long that cookie stays on their browser. As long as that cookie is still on the user’s browser when they ultimately do finalize a purchase, you’ll get credit as an affiliate. Cookies will be deleted automatically once they’ve reached the expiration date.

Setting the secure flag prevents the cookie from ever being sent over an unencrypted connection. It basically tells the browser to never add the cookie to any request to the server that does not use an encrypted channel. The cookie will only be added to connections such as HTTPS (HTTP over Transport Layer Security (TLS)).
What do you need to know about Cookie security?
As the name HTTPOnly implies, the browser will only use the cookie in HTTP (S) requests. This prevents hackers from using XSS vulnerabilities to learn the contents of the cookie. E.g. for the sessionId cookie it is never necessary to read the cookie with client-side script, so for sessionId cookies, you can always set the HTTPOnly flag.
When do I need to set a Secure attribute for a cookie?
When using cookies over a secure channel, servers SHOULD set the Secure attribute (see Section 4.1.2.5) for every cookie. If a server does not set the Secure attribute, the protection provided by the secure channel will be largely moot.
How are cookies used in HTTP cookie authentication?
Cookie authentication uses HTTP cookies to authenticate client requests and maintain session information. It works as follows: The client sends a login request to the server. On the successful login, the server response includes the Set-Cookie header that contains the cookie name, value, expiry time and some other info.
