setMaxAge(0) will not work as if u give the argument as 0 it will take the
default lifetime of the cookie ie the browsers instance. try setMaxAge(1).

Subject: Deleting a cookie
Does anyone know how to actually delete a cookie as setMaxAge(0) doesn't
seem to do anything at all in the code below.
public void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response) throws ServletException, IOException {
Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
response.setContentType("text/html");
out.println("<html><head><title>ClearCookies</title></head><body>");
out.println("<h2>ClearCookies</h2><hr>");
if (cookies != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
out.println("Deleting: " + cookies[i].getName() + "<br>");
cookies[i].setMaxAge(0);
}
out.println("<p>");
out.println("<b>Your cookies have been deleted</b>");
} else {
out.println("<b>No cookies to delete</b>");
}
out.println("<hr></body></html>");
out.close();
}
