Good catch, Chris. I was wondering about that myself but hadn't taken the time to see if
setcookie() used regular serial time or if cookies had another time standard.
echo date("m/d/Y h:i:s", 15552000);
06/29/1970 08:00:00
That's what I get.

Unless I'm mistaken, you appear to be setting the Expiration date of the
cookie to "Mon, 29 Jun 1970 17:00:00 -0700".
Which would cause the cookie to be unset, if it were already set, and do
nothing otherwise.
