Changing dynamic cookie time in php session

Is there a way to change the dynamic lifetime in a cookie without using a session? I searched and I found that I have to set the cookie parameters first and then initialize the session with start_session()

.

/**
* Class to handle sessions in whole system
*/
class _session
{
    protected $cn = null;
    private $_sessionData;
    private $_name = "";//name for session
    private $_name_user = null;
    function __construct($user)
    {
        $this->_name_user = $user;
        $con = new _conecction();
        $cn  = $con->connect();
    }
    function checkActive()
    {
        session_name($this->_name);
        if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
            session_start();
        }
        $RS = $this->DBmgr->execute("
            EXEC TP_SESION
                @ACT = 'chkSession',
                @SNAME = '".session_name().session_id()."',
                @HASH = '". (isset($_SESSION['login_string'])?$_SESSION['login_string']:'NULL') . "'");
        if($RS===false){
            return false;
        }else{
            $SES = odbc_fetch_array($RS);
            if($SES){
                $this->DATA = array(
                    '_USER_ID' => $SES['codigo_usuario'],
                    '_USER_NAME' => $SES['usuario'],

        session_set_cookie_params($cookieParams["lifetime"], $cookieParams["path"], $cookieParams["domain"], $secure, $httponly);
        session_start();
        session_regenerate_id(true);
