The DeleteCookie () method will help to delete a cookie with the name matching with the existing list of cookies present for a given page URL.

var wpage = require('webpage').create(); 
wpage.deleteCookie(cookiename); 

Example

The following example shows the use of deleteCookie method.

var wpage = require('webpage').create(); 
phantom.addCookie ({ 
   'name'     : 'cookie1',    /* mandatory property */ 
   'value'    : '1234',       /* mandatory property */ 
   'domain'   : 'localhost',  /* mandatory property */ 
   'path'     : '/', 
   'httponly' : true, 
   'secure'   : false, 
   'expires'  : (new Date()).getTime() + (5000 * 60 * 60) 
}); 

wpage.open('http://localhost/tasks/a.html', function() { 
   console.log("Cookies available are :"); 
   console.log(JSON.stringify(wpage.cookies));  
   wpage.deleteCookie('cookie1'); 
   console.log("Cookies available now after deleting cookie1"); 
   console.log(JSON.stringify(wpage.cookies)); 
   phantom.exit(); 
});
