Is there a built-in solution for invalidating sessions on the server side after some time if the user was inactive?
Should I "refresh" the cookie on each user activity to prevent the expiration of the session?
Thanks.

You can use the call.sessions.clear() method for that.

Thanks, so I need to implement this expiration functionality and the "refreshing" of the session cookie.

Yes. You can use the call.sessions.set() method to prevent the cookie from expiring.

Maybe is there a way to simply resend the Set-Cookie header instead?
I'm afraid that using call.sessions.set() will re-write the SessionStorage every time...

Unfortunately, the method for the sending is internal.
