To setup the cookie I use this code:

from http import cookies
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

cookie = cookies.SimpleCookie()
cookie["session"] = random.randint(0,100000000000000000)
cookie["session"]["expires"] = expires.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S +0000")
print(cookie.output())


To disable the cookie I've only been able to find code to the effect of:

from http import cookies
import os

cookie = cookies.SimpleCookie(os.environ["HTTP_COOKIE"])
cookie["session"]["expires"]='Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT'
cookie["expires"]='Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT'
print(cookie.output())

I seem to only be able to find variations of this code.
