How to delete a cookie?
Try this:
function delete_cookie( name, path, domain ) { if( get_cookie( name ) ) { document.cookie = name + "=" + ((path) ? ";path="+path:"")+ ((domain)?";domain="+domain:"") + ";expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:01 GMT"; }}
You can define get_cookie()
like this:
function get_cookie(name){ return document.cookie.split(';').some(c => { return c.trim().startsWith(name + '='); });}
Here a good link on Quirksmode.
function setCookie(name,value,days) { var expires = ""; if (days) { var date = new Date(); date.setTime(date.getTime() + (days*24*60*60*1000)); expires = "; expires=" + date.toUTCString(); } document.cookie = name + "=" + (value || "") + expires + "; path=/";}function getCookie(name) { var nameEQ = name + "="; var ca = document.cookie.split(';'); for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) { var c = ca[i]; while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length); if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length); } return null;}function eraseCookie(name) { document.cookie = name+'=; Max-Age=-99999999;'; }
would this work?
function eraseCookie(name) { document.cookie = name + '=; Max-Age=0'}
I know Max-Age
causes the cookie to be a session cookie in IE when creating the cookie. Not sure how it works when deleting cookies.
