set cookies to expire

[Gonzosez]

How can I set my cookies to expire when the the user leaves the site?

 

[Kyle Peterson]

if you want that one way is to use session variables not cookies..

I agree that if you don't want a cookie to last longer than a session,
then use session variables. But anyways here is an answer to your
question about having a cookie quickly expire.

The next important property is the Expires property. This specifies the
date the cookie should expire. If it is set to a past date then it will
expire when the browser is closed.

When setting the date it can be set a couple of ways. You can use the
current date and add or subtract days like so:

Response.Cookies("name").Expires = Date + 365
