Xbox.com cookies expire in 30-60 minutes

Whenever I visit the Xbox Wire (https://news.xbox.com) website, it asks me to accept cookies. I always accept but it keeps asking every time. I checked in the Microsoft Edge settings and to my surprise it turns out that xbox.com cookies expire in just 30 minutes. This is extremely inconvenient as a visitor has to look at the big cookie banner at the top of the screen every time, and keep accepting the cookies. Even if you Reject, the same banner pops up the next time. This applies to https://xbox.com as well, which has some of its cookies set to 60 minute expiration. This wasn't the case before, one could use these websites conveniently without being harassed to accept the same cookies over and over again. I hope someone can escalate this issue to someone in charge of web design. Thank you.
