Persistent Cookies and path specification

PERSISTENT CLIENT STATE HTTP COOKIES

The path attribute is used to specify the subset of URLs in a domain for which the cookie is valid. If a cookie has already passed domain matching, then the pathname component of the URL is compared with the path attribute, and if there is a match, the cookie is considered valid and is sent along with the URL request. The path "/foo" would match "/foobar" and "/foo/bar.html". The path "/" is the most general path.

If the path is not specified, it as assumed to be the same path as the document being described by the header which contains the cookie.

Make sure your cookie name and the path are the same when you manipulate that cookie 


public static Cookie createPersistentPLSCookie(String value)
{
   Cookie pc = new Cookie(RLK_COOKIE_NAME, value);
   pc.setPath("/");
   return pc;
}

See how the name and path are fixed. 


public static Cookie createPersistentPLSCancelCookie()
   {
      //path is set
      Cookie pc = createPersistentPLSCookie("");
      //set cancellation
      pc.setMaxAge(0);
      return pc;
   }

So old documentation on how to get cookies may vary if you go through their UI. The URL to get to the cookies may be more stable.
