Is there a way to keep a google user logged in?

I have a Windows 10 machine that starts automatically and launches
Chrome.
Chrome home page is set on Google Calendar, so PC shows that calendar.

After a variable number of days, I find google user disconnected.
Chrome (or firefox, tried both) asks for "choose account", you confirm
on the only account shown, you confirm on password (that is saved, no
need to enter it) and the user is logged again.

But the PC has no physical user (no mouse / keyboard), users only look
at that calendar on a big screen.

Until someone connects with remote desktop and take the steps before,
the system is broken: user don't see the calendar page.

Can you access that calender via CalDAV?
You can use Thunderbird to display it, without any Google webpage
involved-

On a Thunderbird install, I use this addon to access google calendar.
https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/provider-for-google-calendar/

It could be a way, I don't remember it has ever asked credentials
again.
But it's a big interface change. The main issue I see is that it
cannot see colors.

Users that manage calendar events on web interface set color according
to event type, and viewers see those color that categorize events.

But in Thunderbird (and in Outlook) you cannot see the colors set from
web.
All events have a single color.
Is there some properties that can be shared between Thunderbird and
Web interface? Or between Thunderbird and Outlook.
Users that manage calendar would be fine if they could insert events
from Outlook.
