Deleting cookies: All paths & domains

Whe I try to delete a cookie by simple delete method, it does not work. I think it requires to the path & domain also.

this.cookieService.delete("auth_token");

thus, I need to write:

this.cookieService.delete("auth_token", "/", "quizcv.com");
this.cookieService.delete("auth_token", "/", "www.quizcv.com");
this.cookieService.delete("auth_token", "/", "localhost");

which is very uncomfortable. Moreover, there are some combinations with different paths.

How can I delete all cookies, whatever the path or domain is?

No need to add domain it worked for me like this… this.cookieService.delete(‘myCookie’, ’ / ');

The browser (and therefore the cookie-service) simply just have no way of knowing the paths and domains of the set cookies. For security reasons, they can only access the cookies of the current path and domain.

Here you can find a good explanation of the issue:

For security, you’re not allowed to edit (or delete) a cookie on another site. Since there’s no guarantee that you own both foo.domain.com and bar.domain.com, you won’t be allowed to edit the cookies of foo.domain.com from bar.domain.com and vice versa.

The only thing you can do is to take an educated guess, like in this attempt.
