jquery delete cookies only when site is closed

when the site opens, I open a modal . When the site is closed, I want to delete the cookies. I tried the codes below, but when the page is refreshed, the modal opens again. How can I delete cookies only when the site is closed. thanks

$(document).ready(function () {
    if ($.cookie("announcement") == null) {
        $.cookie("announcement", "yes");
        $("#large").modal("show");
    }
});

function cookieDelete() {
    $.removeCookie("announcement");
}

$(window).on("beforeunload", function () {
    cookieDelete();
    return;
});

    You have to delete the cookie on .unload event

    $(window).unload(function() {
    cookieDelete();
});

    If Cookie is not a requirement, I suggest an alternate solution using Session Storage

    $(document).ready(function () {
    const announcement = sessionStorage.getItem("announcement");
    if (!announcement) {
        sessionStorage.setItem("announcement", "yes");
        $("#large").modal("show");
    }
});

    You don’t need to handle delete operation because session storage will be cleared automatically when the page is closed.
