This should remove all cookies except for the "test-cookie" you want.

    foreach mycookie $sessionCookies {
        if { not ($mycookie equals "test-cookie") }{

    }

    Also, if you want to have a list of allowed cookies, create a data group containing that list named "allowedCookies_dg" and use an iRule like this. when HTTP_REQUEST { set sessionCookies [ HTTP::cookie names ] foreach mycookie $sessionCookies { if { not ( [class match $mycookie equals "allowedCookie_dg"]) }{ HTTP::cookie remove $mycookie } } }
