I wanted to delete all cookies on my wordpress.com website so that one of my popups should continue appearing. This is the code that I wrote in my function.php file:
```
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_COOKIE'])) {
    $cookies = explode(';', $_SERVER['HTTP_COOKIE']);
    foreach($cookies as $cookie) {
        $parts = explode('=', $cookie);
        $name = trim($parts[0]);
        setcookie($name, '', 3600000);
        setcookie($name, '', 3600000, '/');
    }
}
```
After I saved this I kept on getting logged out of WordPress because I had deleted all my cookies.

I tried removing it from functions.php and saving the file but then I received the following errors:

Something went wrong. Your change may not have been saved. Please try again. There is also a chance that you may need to manually fix and upload the file over FTP.

or:

nonce_failure

I have tried searching in WordPress blogs but have not found anything, any help would be appreciated.

Hello hello!

As regular WordPress.com websites don’t let users access the functions.php file, it seems that your website is not hosted by WordPress.com, but is rather using the open-source self-hosted version of WordPress.

As the WordPress.com forums are specifically equipped to support websites hosted by WordPress.com, you’ll have to seek aid at the WordPress.org forums:
https://wordpress.org/support/forums
https://wordpress.org/support/

Best of luck!
