Answer 2

//setcookie("user", "Tim", time() + 86400, "/"); 

// Creates a cookie with name "user"
// (Optional) Value of the cookie is "Tim"
// (Optional) Cookie will expire in 1 day (86400 seconds)

unset($_COOKIE['user']);

if (isset($_COOKIE['user'])) 
    echo 'User name: ' . $_COOKIE['user'];
else
    echo 'Cookie is not Set';


 
/*
run: 

Cookie is not Set
  
*/
