Answer 1

From Wikipedia:

Beside the name/value pair, a cookie
may also contain an expiration date, a
path, a domain name, and whether the
cookie is intended only for encrypted
connections. RFC 2965 also specifies
that cookies must have a mandatory
version number, but this is usually
omitted.

So you can:

• Check the version number, if there is one
• Check the expiration date, assuming it’s being set based on current time + some amount

As far as I know, that’s all you can do. If you’re involved in setting the cookie, you can put the information you need into one of the properties above when you set it.
