You can delete a cookie by setting the expiry date as a passed date. You don't need to specify a cookie value in this case.

For example, you can delete a username cookie in the current page as below.

javascript
1document.cookie =
2  "username=; expires=Fri, 07 Jun 2019 00:00:00 UTC; path=/;";

Note: You should define the cookie path option to ensure that you delete the right cookie. Some browsers doesn't allow to delete a cookie unless you specify a path parameter.
