They want them to last for less time. Perhaps that's the right word.

I think so as well. The intent of this write-up is explicitly to advocate for a practice to "Expire cookies early". "Depreciate" might not be the perfect word, but "deprecate" is outright misleading.

Depreciate is an intransitive verb. It does not take an object such as cookies, but refers back to the subject. So short GOOG now.
