Deleting cookie of the instagram authorization page in rails application

Question

In my rails application i am using oauth to get access to the user's profile data. The thing is when the instagram's authorization log-in page pops up, the user has to enter his log-in details, a cookie gets saved in my machine. Is there any way to DELETE this cookie(obviously not manually)? I am asking this because when the oauth page is called again, this cookie saved in my browser automatically signs in the user. This has become a nuisance for my project. I don't want this to happen, i want the same log-in page to be displayed again.

Answer 1

I'm assuming that you are wanting to log the user out of instagram as well as your application. In order to do that you can send their browser to https://instagram.com/accounts/logout/. I've seen it used as a image URL or loaded in a zero size iframe. I suspect the second is the better option.

That way it will required the instagram login again the second time, but won't require them to reauthorize your application.
