        var c = ca[i];
        while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1);
        if (c.indexOf(name) == 0) {
            return c.substring(name.length, c.length);
        }
    }
    return "";
}
countdown(60,true);

$("li a").click(function(){
    var cookies = document.cookie.split(";");

for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++)

$.cookie("minutes", null, { path: '/' });
$.cookie("seconds", null, { path: '/' });

});

I have two variables in above code. When I am trying to logout, both variables which are previously set in cookie, are not going to reset. Please let me know what I am doing wrong here. Thanks in advance.

  • Isn't it the exact purpose of a cookie - to be preserved between several visits to a web resource? Why do you expect they'd be reset? Have you done something to reset them anywhere? – M. Prokhorov Nov 27 '17 at 13:27
  • yes i have added this code on logout in my applcation $("li a").click(function(){ var cookies = document.cookie.split(";"); for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) $.cookie("minutes", null, { path: '/' }); $.cookie("seconds", null, { path: '/' }); }); – Saurav Sony Nov 27 '17 at 13:29
  • I see no notion of "logging out" in that code. – M. Prokhorov Nov 27 '17 at 13:30

You might want to remove the cookies those variables are reading from in your logout function:

try look at this: How to delete a cookie?

in particular : 

function removeItem(sKey, sPath, sDomain) {
document.cookie = encodeURIComponent(sKey) + 
              "=; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT" + 
              (sDomain ? "; domain=" + sDomain : "") + 
              (sPath ? "; path=" + sPath : "");
}

removeItem("cookieName");
