Any hint would be very much appreciated.

The accepted answer in this question should accomplish what you're after, no need for a plugin in all cases, sometimes a simple javascript snippet will do.

Answer 2

You do not need to use jquery for that, only pure javascript:

function setCookie(name, value, seconds) {

    if (typeof(seconds) != 'undefined') {
        var date = new Date();
        date.setTime(date.getTime() + (seconds*1000));
        var expires = "; expires=" + date.toGMTString();
    }
    else {
        var expires = "";
    }

    document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
}

And call with setCookie( cookieName, null, -1);

jQuery doesn't offer builtin ways for this, so you'll need to grab a jQuery plugin if you really don't want to use "plain vanilla JavaScript" for this.

I've checked the available plugins and those two simple plugins looks to suit your requirements.

• CooQuery
• Cookie Plugin
