Internet Explorer - Windows XP ?

You'll need a third-party application to do what you want. Here's a nice
freeware application that you can set to have your cookies deleted when you
close IE - CleanCache:

Hi,

If you're responsible for the cookies (i.e. you created them), try not
setting the expires data. The following example, from the PlatformSDK, uses
InternetSetCookie to create a session cookie (that gets deleted when the
session ends), or a persistent cookie:

// Create a session cookie.
bReturn = InternetSetCookie("http://www.adventure_works.com", NULL,
"TestData = Test");

// Create a persistent cookie.
bReturn = InternetSetCookie("http://www.adventure_works.com", NULL,
"TestData = Test; expires = Sat, 01-Jan-2000 00:00:00 GMT");
Similar techniques should work from other techniques for cookie creation,
but I can't find any simple way to do it otherwise

Rob

Hi Chv,

Thanks for posting!

My understanding on the issue is: I want to delete the cookies
automatically in Windows XP. If I have misunderstood your concerns, please
feel free to let me know.

Based on my research, you may use third-party software to achieve your
goal. I would like to provide a software for your reference:
