mktime should be used when removing cookies. Normally people tend to use: time()-3600 to set the
expiration date in "the past". The problem with this is that some computers is set at a
wrong date and therfore differs from the server-time. That will render the time()-3600 unusable.
Instead use mktime(12,0,0,1, 1, 1990) as you expiration criteria. I'm convinced that only a
very few users has set their time back more than 1990 :)
