CookieStore: delete() method
The delete() method of the CookieStore interface deletes a cookie with the given name or options object. The delete() method expires the cookie by changing the date to one in the past.

delete(name)
delete(options)
Parameters
This method requires one of the following:
-
name

A string with the name of a cookie.
Or
-
options
-
An object containing:
-
name
-
A string with the name of a cookie.
partitioned Optional
-
A boolean value that defaults to false. Setting it to true specifies that the cookie to delete will be a partitioned cookie. See Cookies Having Independent Partitioned State (CHIPS) for more information.
path Optional

url Optional
-
A string with the URL of a cookie.

From a document you may only obtain the cookies at the current URL, so the only valid URL in a document context is the document's URL.

Thrown if deleting the cookie represented by the given name or options fails.
