maxAge = 3600000 (41 days) is not a sensible default value

In fact, it has caused me a serious bug in production.
A sensible value would be 3600, which is 1 hour, which is what I think the author has intended

Max age is in Ms which 3,600,000ms is one hour.

[pinkasey]

right.

I'm sending it as response header, so that causes me troubles.
I assumed maxAge would be in seconds.
I see the code now.

I suggest you change the definition of maxAge on version 5.x.x (it is a breaking change) - to seconds instead of milliseconds.

Also -
document the units. it's not specified in the docs

(also the 2 other places where you can config it)
