Cookies being read even after deleting

[Abhishek Asthana]

I am confused about this cookie issue.
In Internet Explorer, I have deleted all the cookies by (help->Internet Options->Delete Browing History) before I run my servlet:

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        HttpSession session = request.getSession();
 
            Cookie[] cookies = request.getKookies();
            if (cookies != null) {
                String username =
                        getKookieValue(cookies, "username", "");
  String password =
                        getKookieValue(cookies, "password", "");
}
 
public String getKookieValue(Cookie[] cookies,
            String cookieName,
            String defaultValue) {
        for (int i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++) {
            Cookie cookie = cookies[i];
            if (cookieName.equals(cookie.getName())) {
                return (cookie.getValue());
            }
        }
        return (defaultValue);
    }

When I debug the code, I find that cookies array has 3 elements when there should be none. 2 of these are the cookies i created in this program earlier by following code:

if (remember != null) {
            if (remember.equalsIgnoreCase("ON")) {
                Cookie cookieUsername = new Cookie("username", username);
                Cookie cookiePassword = new Cookie("password", password);
                response.addCookie(cookiePassword);
                response.addCookie(cookieUsername);
            } else {
                
            }

What is the reason that those cookies are still being read?
Thanks

I doubt wether (help->Internet Options->Delete Browing History) will delete the cookies... there is seprate Delete Cookies option in Tools->Internet Options try that , that should delete all the cookies..

Hi

In Internet Options -> Browsing History -> Delete ->Delete Cookies options will help to delete the cookies.

While writing this problem I really thought whether I should specify that I select 'Delete Cookies' option.
Yes I choose the write option to delete cookies.
Thanks.
