here is the code to create the cookie & delete it...

              //Create Cookie
              HttpCookie aCookie = new HttpCookie("AdminInfo");
              aCookie.Values["userName"] = txtUsername.Text;
              aCookie.Values["Password"] = txtPassword.Text;
              aCookie.Values["lastVisit"] = DateTime.Now.ToString();
              aCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(10);
              Response.Cookies.Add(aCookie);
         
              //Delete Cookie
              HttpCookie aCookie = new HttpCookie("AdminInfo");              
              aCookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1);
              Response.Cookies.Add(aCookie);

This is a javascript cookie to begin with,

function createCookie(name,value,days)
{
if (days)
{
var date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
}
else var expires = "";
document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
}

function eraseCookie(name)
{
createCookie(name,"",-1);
}

All that need be done is invoke eraseCookie(name), with the proper cookie name, onload of the login page, an event on it or other page(s), or onunload of whatever page(s) or in association with the logout event.

Thanks

See this simple example
 
//Write username to the cookie
Response.Cookies["PBLOGIN"]["UNAME"] = this.TbUserName.Text;
 
//Write password to the cookie
Response.Cookies["PBLOGIN"]["UPASS"] = this.TbPassword.Text;
 
//Create a cookie with expiry of 30 days
Response.Cookies["PBLOGIN"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(30);
 
Now next time when you want to chek wheather the cookie exist check it this way and assign new value the cookie variables:
 
if ((Request.Cookies["PBLOGIN"] != null))
{
     Response.Cookies["PBLOGIN"]["UNAME"] = this.TbUserName.Text;
     Response.Cookies["PBLOGIN"]["UPASS"] = this.TbPassword.Text;
}
