    Deleting Cookies

    To delete a cookie call set_cookie() method with the name of the cookie and any value
    and set the max_age argument to 0. Open main2.py file and add the following code just
    after the cookie() view function.

    flask_app/main2.py

    1 #...
    2 @app.route('/delete-cookie/')
    3 def delete_cookie():
    4 res = make_response("Cookie Removed")
    5 res.set_cookie('foo', 'bar', max_age=0)
    6 return res
    7 #...
    Visit http://localhost:5000/delete-cookie/ and you will get the following response:

    Now you should have a good understanding of how a cookie works. The following listing
    gives you a practical example of how a cookie can be used to store the user preference.

    In main2.py add the following code after the delete_cookie() view function.

    flask_app/main2.py

    1 #...
    2 @app.route('/article/', methods=['POST', 'GET'])
    3 def article():
    4 if request.method == 'POST':
    5 print(request.form)
    6 res = make_response("")
    7 res.set_cookie("font", request.form.get('font'), 60*60*24*15)
    8 res.headers['location'] = url_for('article')
    9 return res, 302
    10
    11 return render_template('article.html')
    12 #...
    Create a new template article.html with the following code:

    <!DOCTYPE html>

    <meta charset="UTF-8">
