Embedded Discovery Service and Cookie cacheExpiration

With the Discovery Service we set the CookiePlugin as such...

     <Plugin
        identifier="CookiePlugin"
        type="edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.wayf.plugins.provider.SamlCookiePlugin"
        alwaysFollow = "TRUE"
        deleteCookie = "FALSE"
        cacheExpiration = "604800"/>

Then in the in the wayf.jsp we forced cache to false. ex <input
type="hidden" name="cache" value="false" />

Once a user has successfully logged into their IdP this configuration
would effectively stop the user from ever seeing the Discovery Service
selector page for one year, unless they cleared their cookies.

There doesn't seem to be anyway to configure the Embedded Discovery
Service to have the same behavior, or am I missing something?
