In code, try this:

HttpCookie cookie = Request.Cookies["CMSCookieLevel"];
if (cookie != null)    
{

    // update the expiration timestamp
    cookie.Expires = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(90);

    // overwrite the cookie
    Response.Cookies.Add(cookie);
}

Be extra carefull with Dat's code example provided. If you do this in MVC application code this will disable output cache implicitly (refer here or google more this topic).

Better to use the code in a custom module class. Probably in the event handler code for the ApplicationEvents.SessionStart or ApplicationEvents.SessionEnd events. I can't say for sure when Kentico overwrites the cookie itself. You'd have to experiment and see what works.

That's up to you. What's your reasoning for wanting to reduce it to 90 days?
