Browsers spawned from the same window, such as popup windows, share the same cookies as the browser from which they're spawned, and vice-versa. So, you can't simply close the popup window and have the cookies disappear. What you should be able to do is to have a JavaScript onunload event for your body tag within the popup window call a page on the server which explicitly deletes the cookies, as well as have JavaScript delete them client-side. Of course, if the user simply clicks the close button, you might be out of luck.
