i was able to assign and delete all the cookies using the following code.
Notice the use of the cfloop over a collection so you are sure that all
cookie the site might have assigned are expired (deleted). Remember that the
cookies don't actually get "deleted" from the user hardrive until after the
page is executed. So if you notice that the first time you execute
index2.cfm you will not get an error about the cookies not being there. if
you refresh the page though, you will get the error. the first time the page
executes the second set of outputing the cookie values return empty strings.
index.cfm
=========
<cfcookie name="test" value="test" expires="NEVER">
<cfcookie name="test1" value="test1" expires="NEVER">
<cfcookie name="test2" value="test2" expires="NEVER">
<a href="index2.cfm">next</a>
index2.cfm
==========
<cfoutput>
#cookie.test#<br>
#cookie.test1#<br>
#cookie.test2#
</cfoutput>
<cfloop collection="#cookie#" item="i">
<cfcookie name="#i#" value="" expires="NOW">
</cfloop>
<cfoutput>
#cookie.test#<br>
#cookie.test1#<br>
#cookie.test2#<br>
</cfoutput>

Subject: Re: Cookies
I imagine you used something like the code below to expire the cookies. The
only
thing I can think of is that it is expiring one of the cookies and leaving
the
other intact. then they login again and it sets another to their browser.
Maybe
looping through somehow to check
<cfloop from="1" to="10" index="count">
<cfif IsDefined("Cookie.cookieName")>
<cfoutput>#count# </cfoutput>I am still here<br>
<CFCOOKIE NAME="cookieName" EXPIRES="NOW">
<cfelse>
<cfoutput>#count# </cfoutput>I am now gone<br>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
