JavaScript: how to delete a cookie

In this article we will see how to delete a cookie in JavaScript.

Knowing the name of the cookie, we can write a function that sets its expiration date in the past so that browsers are forced to no longer consider it valid.

'use strict';

const removeCookie = (name = '', path = '/') => {
    document.cookie = `${name}=; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 UTC; path=${path}`;
};
