Delete Cookie by Name – Selenium Java

Delete Cookie by Name

To delete a cookie by name using Selenium for Java, call manage().deleteCookieNamed() on the WebDriver object and pass the name of the cookie as argument to the deleteCookieNamed() method.

The following is a simple code snippet to delete the cookie named “GeoIP”.

driver.manage().deleteCookieNamed("GeoIP")

where driver is a WebDriver object.

This method call returns void.

Example

In the following program, we write Selenium Java code to visit Wikipedia Home Page, and delete the Cookie named GeoIP.

Java Program

import org.openqa.selenium.*;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class MyAppTest {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "/usr/local/bin/chromedriver");
		WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
		
		try {
			driver.get("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page");
			//wait for 5 seconds
			synchronized (driver) {
				driver.wait(5000);
			}
			System.out.println("Before Deleting Cookies : \n" + driver.manage().getCookies());
			//delete cookie by name
			driver.manage().deleteCookieNamed("GeoIP");
			System.out.println("\nAfter Deleting Cookies : \n" + driver.manage().getCookies());
		} catch (InterruptedException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		} finally {
			driver.quit();
		}
	}
}
