Does cold duration and severity stack?

I'm asking this question specifically in reference to charms that give +cold damage.

Let's say I have one charm in my inventory that gives 1-2 cold damage for 2 seconds total duration. If I keep one more such charm in the inventory, the total cold damage will increase to 2-4 (double), but will the cold duration double too?

Second part of the question: Let's say one such cold charm in the inventory slows the target due to freeze effect. If I keep two charms, then will my attack make them even slower? In other ways, will it increase the "frames" for monster even further?

As far as I know, cold duration and damage from multiple sources stack. But they don't make the target even slower. According to the Diablo faqtoids site you need to stack slowing effect from items/golem, Decrepify and/or Holy Freeze to make a target even slower.

What Gillsing said is right, but take note that the duration is 1 second for every charm, or more accurately every suffix that gives cold damage. If you have 1 charm with a suffix and prefix that adds cold damage then it adds 2 seconds to your total duration.
