I am using following code to delete a cookie: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>document.cookie = "CookieName=; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 UTC"; </code></pre> There are two cookies, one in on domain <code>www.websiteaddress.com</code> and other is on <code>.websiteaddress.com</code>. When I am on page <code>www.websiteaddress.com</code> the cookie having domain address <code>www.websiteaddress.com</code> gets deleted but other one is not deleted. How can I delete both cookies while loading javascript on <code>www.websiteaddress.com</code>

You are not allowed to delete cookies on another site. Because there is no guarantee that you own both <code>www.websiteaddress.com</code> and <code>.websiteaddress.com</code>. You can only delete cookies that you set for the current domain.
