I've just changed cookie path settings in magento admin. After this, on storefront, I'm unable to login as customer or on checkout page (on checkout page it redirects to empty cart). However if I open another browser everything works fine as it creates new cookie. if I change the cookie path to previous, it works fine. I want that, on cookie path change, it immediately reflect on storefront as we have to change the cookie path on live environment and those issues are not good for customer/visitor to face. Is there any solution?

Did you clean all cookies, caches from your browser?– Sukumar GoraiCommented May 17, 2018 at 9:08

its impractical to ask visitors to go into browser settings and manually delete website related cookies. most of em don't know it and won't understand hence not that user friendly.– R TCommented May 17, 2018 at 9:13

I think you need to reduce cookies lifetime. then you have little impact on each customer. And after some days make changes in cookies path So customer old cookies will expire asap after changes. Just make sure frontend cookies are not duplicating by doing this.

It was a very annoying thing but this solution worked like a charm. Commented May 18, 2018 at 6:29

applying this solution works perfectly. existing cookie expire time was updated and was able to change cookie settings without any customer facing logout or unable to place order.– R TCommented May 18, 2018 at 7:23

Update: This solution worked for some but for some it didn't. I think its browser dependency or magento bug.– R TCommented May 21, 2018 at 6:38
