If name is of type RegExp an object containing all of the cookies with names that match the specified regular expression will be returned. If name is undefined or null an object containing all of the cookies will be returned. If an object is returned each key will represent the name of each removed cookie and each value will be the value of that removed cookie.

Required Functions

This function directly requires the following functions which are included automatically:

  • getCookie()
    Retrieves one or more cookies.
  • has()
    Every object descended from Object inherits the hasOwnProperty method. This method can be used to determine whether an object has the specified property as a direct property of that object; unlike the in operator, this method does not check down the object's prototype chain.
  • setCookie()
    Takes the name of a cookie and sets its value.
