Aby usunąć plik cookie, ustawiam go ponownie z pustą wartością i wygasa za 1 sekundę. W szczegółach zawsze używam jednego z następujących smaków (wolę drugi):
1.
function setCookie(key, value, expireDays, expireHours, expireMinutes, expireSeconds) {
var expireDate = new Date();
if (expireDays) {
expireDate.setDate(expireDate.getDate() + expireDays);
}
if (expireHours) {
expireDate.setHours(expireDate.getHours() + expireHours);
}
if (expireMinutes) {
expireDate.setMinutes(expireDate.getMinutes() + expireMinutes);
}
if (expireSeconds) {
expireDate.setSeconds(expireDate.getSeconds() + expireSeconds);
}
document.cookie = key +"="+ escape(value) +
";domain="+ window.location.hostname +
";path=/"+
";expires="+expireDate.toUTCString();
}
function deleteCookie(name) {
setCookie(name, "", null , null , null, 1);
}
Stosowanie:
setCookie("reminder", "buyCoffee", null, null, 20);
deleteCookie("reminder");
2)
function setCookie(params) {
var name = params.name,
value = params.value,
expireDays = params.days,
expireHours = params.hours,
expireMinutes = params.minutes,
expireSeconds = params.seconds;
var expireDate = new Date();
if (expireDays) {
expireDate.setDate(expireDate.getDate() + expireDays);
}
if (expireHours) {
expireDate.setHours(expireDate.getHours() + expireHours);
}
if (expireMinutes) {
expireDate.setMinutes(expireDate.getMinutes() + expireMinutes);
}
if (expireSeconds) {
expireDate.setSeconds(expireDate.getSeconds() + expireSeconds);
}
document.cookie = name +"="+ escape(value) +
";domain="+ window.location.hostname +
";path=/"+
";expires="+expireDate.toUTCString();
}
function deleteCookie(name) {
setCookie({name: name, value: "", seconds: 1});
}
Stosowanie:
setCookie({name: "reminder", value: "buyCoffee", minutes: 20});
deleteCookie("reminder");
setCookie('name', 'value', 0)
do usunięcia pliku cookie.
