The cookie lasts until the stated expiry date so to 'delete' it you set its
expiry date to yesterday or, with this Javascript example from

http://www.echoecho.com/jscookies.htm/

{
document.cookie = NameOfCookie + "=" + "; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-70 00:00:01 GMT";
}

to the 1st Jan 1970.
Should do it :-)
