Cookies in Home Screen mode on ios7

Question

I have a web site that my users "add to home screen" on there iPads. Since ios7 came out i am not able to erase cookie data for this site from the device (not programatically) . clearing cookies in safari does not affect it. Event if i delete the icon on the home screen and re-add it. the session is still there. Any ideas of how to erase cookies in this case?

Answer 1

I feel this is an important issue that could have security implications.

It is obvious that ios retain user data even when the add to home screen bookmark is removed from ios.

I just tried in an older version of ios (5.01 on ipad 1) and can at least confirm that on that version removing cookies in safari removes them from the home screen bookmarks as well.
