Well they are session-based cookies and the information I am showing concerning the existence of cookies is from the cookie manager within the browser (Firefox in this case) (as opposed to cookie files written to disk).

The owa_cookie.remove procedure actually I think sets an expiration which, presumably, causes the browser to ignore once set - for example if I remove the owa_util.mime_header and owa_util.http_header_close calls I see the following written to the browser:

Set-Cookie: ccp_user100292=102210:148256; expires=Monday, 01-Jan-1990 08:00:00 GMT; So I am thoroughly confused as to why this is not working.
