This does not work...I tried it several times. I deleted all cookies that contained the name of the website in question. Unless the name of the cookie is not recognizable.

You can also try to click the Site Identity Button (globe or padlock) on the left hand side of the location bar and click the More Information button and the View Cookies button to see the cookies from the current domain.
Maybe best to do this on the login page.
