I have got it working, not tested all cases ...If Baz and EchoChargen
try, let me know problem and/or enhancements

In UserController if login successful :

$this->Cookie->write(array('user.logged' => 1), null, true, '+1
day');

I suppose after one day we do not want "Session expired anymore". I
delete the Cookie value in logout action, but did not paste this
here ..
Note the Cookie parameters are set in AppController below..


Now in AppController::beforeFilter

        $this->Cookie->domain = '';
        $this->Cookie->name   = 'TESTAPP';
        $this->Cookie->time   = '+30 days';

        if(isset($this->Auth))
        {
            if($this->name == 'Pages')  // we might want to test the
allowed action (in case of beforeFilter set them in Auth before
calling parent)
                $this->Auth->allow('*');
            else
            {
                $this->Cookie->startup();          // essential to be
able to read value
                $step = $this->Cookie->read('User.logged');

              if(!$this->Session->valid())
              {
                  if($v == 1)
                 {
                    $this->Cookie->write(array('User.logged' => 2),
null, true, '+5 minute');
                   // we give 5 minutes for the user to log in the
step after
                 }
             }
             else
            {
                 if($v == 2)
                {
                    $this->Session->setFlash("Session has expired",
'default', array(), 'auth');
                    $this->Cookie->del("User.logged");
               }
           }

          $this->Auth->loginAction = '/users/login';
      }

That;'s about it ... seems to work ok ..Haven't try all cases I guess
with different expiration time on cookie values.
