Is there a way to delete an HTML5 cookie, created by the write/read cookie action in Opus HTML5, using Opus script or JavaScript?

(If a cookie can't be deleted, then maybe best option is to reset/write variable value in cookie to "".)

These cookies are actually HTML5 LocalStorage - so any web search for that and JavaScript will explain how to use them with code. However, unless you have a specific reason for deletion - then setting to empty would be easier.

Thanks, Mack.

May simply stay with setting to empty, since its the data being held, not the cookie itself, that the user needs the option to remove, for privacy. But will do some more reading, just in case...

Best Wishes,

You could also look at using sessionStorage in place of localStorage as it's deleted the minute the user closes the tab / window.

I would recommend checking both forms of storage on IE though, as a recent project highlighted potential issues.

Thanks, Mack.

Wasn't aware of sessionStorage. Nice option!

Need to think through which would be the better option for the project I'm working on. Each has their strengths, depending on project goals.
