How to delete cookies?

I want to delete cookies programmatically.

More specifically, I am using HtmlUnit with Java to automate browser operations. After performing some operations I want to clear cookies so that my subsequent operations make sense. How can I clear cookies through HtmlUnit or through Java or through any other way automatically.

In actual, the cookies in HtmlUnit doesn't get stored on disk until saved programmatically. They remain in the memory. From the memory they gets deleted when the HtmlUnit session expires.

You can user javascript code to expire your cookie using Now to expire it immediately

document.cookie = name + "=; " + Now + "; path=/";

syntax for creating cookie

document.cookie = "name=value; expires=date; path=path; domain=domain; secure";

Can you use the CookieManager?

This class appears to have methods for clearing all cookies or removing them individually.
