[thelist] asp.net: update cookie value to log user out

I.  User fills in User ID and Password text box correctly.

II.  Cookie is set:

dim login_cookie as HttpCookie = New HttpCookie("loggedIn")
login_cookie.Values.Add("login_correct","yes")
login_cookie.Expires = today.AddDays(1+today.DayOfWeek)
Response.Cookies.Add(login_cookie)

II.  Now, user wants to log out, so clicks on the "Log Out" link.  What's
the best course of action at this point?  Change the value of the cookie to
("login_correct","no")? If so, is there a response.cookies.update method?
Or do you do it all over again?

dim login_cookie as HttpCookie = New HttpCookie("loggedIn")
login_cookie.Values.Add("login_correct","no")
Response.Cookies.Add(login_cookie)

Or is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks,

Casey
