Unable to delete cookie

Hi,

I'm using a custom authentication backend for my Django project, and in order to log out I have to delete a cookie that's set by the (external) authentication site.
Here is my view code:

response = django_logout(request,
                         next_page=post_logout_url)
response.delete_cookie('cookie_name',
                        domain="cookie_domain")
return response


The Set-Cookie header of the view is fine:
cookie_name=; Domain=cookie_domain; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:00 GMT; Max-Age=0; Path=/

But the cookie isn't changed at all - it has the same value and expiry date ("end of session") as before logging out.

Does anyone have any ideas about why this is happening?
