Whenever you want to delete cookies, just set the Maxtime value to 0..

example given below.

    Cookie cookie = new Cookie ("myCookie", "theCookieValue");

    // Expire in five minutes (5 * 60)
    cookie.setMaxTime( 300 );

 some... more code here.. or  any other page..

// Expire after the browser is closed
    // cookie.setMaxTime( -1 );

    // Expire right now
    // cookie.setMaxTime( 0 );

I hope it works

As the above answer mentioned, but the setMaxTime should be setMaxAge, setMaxTime doesn't exist.

Use the setMaxAge() of the Cookie class...by setting it to zero (0), u can delete the cookie...

if u want to delete the cookies we hava an header called

response.setHeader("expires", mentionthetime attribute) so that for that prescribed time the cookies will get deleted
