Delete All Cookies

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

The Delete All Cookies command of the WebDriver API deletes all cookies associated with the current browsing context's active document.

Method URI template
DELETE /session/{session id}/cookie

URL parameters

session id

Identifier of the session.

Return value

null if successful.

Errors

A user prompt, such as window.alert, blocks execution of the command until it is dealt with.

Session does not exist.

Examples

Deleting all cookies

With a WebDriver server running on localhost:4444, assume an active session has one or more cookies set. To delete them all, use the following command, replacing ID with the sessionId from the New Session response:

bash
curl -i -X DELETE http://localhost:4444/session/ID/cookie

The server responds with a null value to indicate success:

http
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8

{"value":null}
