Suggestion : don't do that. Even if you javascript clear the cookie information, server will still keep your session info. You better clear your session from server. Also user can always turn off the browser by himself. Yet the better idea would be if you log out from server.

Think about a small virus that can send request to your server by reading your cookie. Very much possible. say, you have cleared your session in your browser still the virus can send those cookie to get info. And server will response cause the server is still keeping the session info
