✨ NAME ✨

delete-cookie — (cookies) 🍪

---

🎯 PURPOSE 🎯

It deletes a cookie. That's the whole job. Iconic, honestly. 💅

---

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

delete-cookie <cookie name> [ path <cookie path> ] [ status <status> ] [ secure <secure> ]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

delete-cookie marks a cookie named <cookie name> for deletion, so it gets sent back in the reply telling the client (like, a browser, yk) to delete it. bye bestie 👋

Newer client implementations require a cookie deletion to use a secure context if the cookie is considered secure, and it is recommended to use secure clause to delete such a cookie. This is the case when either secure clause is used without boolean variable <secure>, or if <secure> evaluates to true.

<cookie name> is a cookie that was either received from the client as a part of the request, or was added with set-cookie.

heads up queen ⚠️ a cookie can be deleted before or after header is sent out (see out-header). However a cookie must be deleted prior to outputting any actual response (such as with output-statement or print-out for example), or the request will error out (see error-handling). no cap, that's the rule 😭

<status> (in status clause) is a number that will be GG_ERR_EXIST if the cookie did not exist, or GG_OKAY if it did. like a little report card 📝

The same cookie name may be stored under different URL paths. You can use path clause to specify <cookie path> to ensure the desired cookie is deleted. lowkey important — don't delete the wrong twin 💀

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

delete-cookie "my_cookie"
