How do you update cookie/session?

[nicedreams]

How do you update the cookie/session in vb3.5.4 from a non vb page?

Is there a function in vb I can call to update it?

I do not want my users to be logged out of vb when they are browsing other parts of the site outside of vb. I do not want to increase the cookie timeout, nor do I want to use the remember me box. So I want to be able to access the vb cookie/session info and update it so the user isn't timed out if they are in a separate part of the site over the cookie timeout.
