I am learning to use this JQuery cookie plugin at
From what I have read, it's really easy to read and remove a cookie. My question is: I want the cookie to be removed when the user navigates away from the page or close the window/tab, how do I do that? How do I detect such activity?
Thanks.

Reset to default 5$(window).on('beforeunload', function () {
// Remove the cookie
$.cookie("name_of_cookie", null);
});
Also, we have one more option:
$(window).unload(function () {
// Remove the cookie
$.cookie("name_of_cookie", null);
});
The update to the accepted answer would be:
Cookies.remove('name');

The jQuery plugin is not longer mantained.
