Sitecore session expires(timeout) quickly(1 min) when not logged in

Can only consider this as a note to my self since it's all over the internet already.

Symptoms:

Session expires very quickly for Sitecore websites. Like only 1 minute.

Cause and solution:

In config file:

Sitecore.Analytics.Tracking.config

Robots' session timeout is set to 1 minute

<!--  ANALYTICS ROBOTS SESSION TIMEOUT

        The ASP.NET Session Timeout for auto detected robots.

        When the automatic robot detection identifies a session as being a robot, the ASP.NET

        Session Timeout is set to this value (in minutes).

        Default: 1

  -->

  <setting name="Analytics.Robots.SessionTimeout" value="1" />

And this

<sc:VisitorIdentification id="VisitorIdentification" runat="server" />

is not in website layout causing all visitors to be considered as robots.

For Sitecore MVC, please check asp.net mvc - Sitecore 7.5 MVC and HttpContext.Session.Timeout set to 1 min - Stack Overflow out.

Addtional Info:

While searching for this issue, I came across something that has always been bothering us, it's the CMS editor's session expires quickly. The message

The operation could not be completed. Your session may have been lost due to a timeout or a server failure. Please try again.

shows up always when I try to select images or files. For this issue, sitecore actually has a patch, please go Session timeout when saving Rich Text fieldsto check it out.

For actually the places to set the session timeout for sitecore, please Google, there're plenty out there.
