How to destroy cakephp cookies on page refresh or when I close the browser window?

my code: merry_parents_controller.php

 $this->Cookie->write('MerryParent.id',$this->MerryParent->id,false,0);
                    echo 'cookie MerryParent.id: '.$this->Cookie->read('MerryParent.id');
                    $this->set('id',$this->Cookie->read('MerryParent.id'));

It seems to me that you want to imitate the behavior of flash messages. If that's right, you may be interested in this part of SessionHelper source code.

If I should simplify it for you, it would look like this (in a controller):

$key = 'MerryParent.id';
$value = '';
if ($this->Session->check($key)) {
    $value = $this->Session->read($key);
    $this->Session->delete($key);
}

If this is not any helpful, please describe more of what you're trying to accomplish. Maybe there is a better way.

Using 0 as the last parameter will mean the cookie will be deleted when the session finishes (browser is closed).

i.e, $this->cookie->time = 0;

If you want to destroy cookies all the time (no idea why), add functionality to do so in your AppController's beforeFilter(), i.e $this->cookie->delete('MerryParent'); (will delete entire MerryParent key).
