Hi dian,

I am using safari 9, and found that document.cookies is document specific, if I do "document.cookies", I get only the cookies of the tab , in which I am working.

I am also a bit stuck here that how to get all the cookies available in the browser.

I am not sure but may be you are not able to delete cookies because of this same reason.

You may have solved this Issue , as it is almost a year old, If yes , Can you Please post your answer.

In my case, I need to specify domain when setting cookie

For example

When setting:

Code Block javascriptdocument.cookie='_session=123; domain=.localhost;';

When removing

Code Block javascriptdocument.cookie='_session=;expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:01 GMT;domain=.localhost;'

And it will work
