In JS, how to remove all cookies and disable them?
For situations, like, for example, a user withdraws their consent to use cookies, you can delete all existing cookies:
function deleteCookies() {
var theCookies = document.cookie.split(';');
for (var i = 0 ; i < theCookies.length; i++) {
document.cookie = theCookies[i].split('=')[0] + '=; path=/; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:01 GMT;';
}
}And then disable them by overriding a getter and setter:
if(!document.__defineGetter__) {
Object.defineProperty(document, 'cookie', {
get: function(){return ''},
set: function(){return true},
});
} else {
document.__defineGetter__("cookie", function() { return '';} );
document.__defineSetter__("cookie", function() {} );
}
