html - Session only cookies with Javascript

Question

I was wondering if it's possible to create session only cookies with Javascript. When the browser is closed the cookies should be removed.

I can't use anything on the server as the website is HTML only ... so no server side script is used.

I read something about this here: http://blog.lysender.com/2011/08/setting-session-only-cookie-via-javascript/ but i can't find any more information about this ... so i was wondering if this method is reliable.

Answer 1

Yes, that is correct.

Not putting an expires part in will create a session cookie, whether it is created in JavaScript or on the server.
