Persistent cookie being deleted as soon as Safari is closed and reopened (working fine in Chrome, Firefox)

I'm using the following JavaScript code to store a cookie with a ID in the browser of the website visitor for 60 days.

While it is working perfectly in Chrome, Firefox etc. in Safari the cookie disappears after closing and reopening the browser. (happens with iPhones, Macbooks etc., even in the standard cookie-configuration)

function setCookie() {
    const date = new Date;
    date.setDate(date.getDate() + 60);
    var uid = Date.now().toString(36) + Math.random().toString(36).substring(2);
    document.cookie = "ck=" + uid + "; expires=" + date + "; path=/";
}

Does anyone have an idea, why this could be happening? Greetings!

I decided to set and read the cookie with php, now it is working. Maybe that is the better option anyways, since cookies set with document.cookie can only last maximum 7 days in Safari, before they get automatically deleted (according to this overview)
