    <?php 
    $row = array(
        'User_Id' => '10',
        'username' => 'Rohan',
        'bg-color' => 'Red',
        'Db_Sys' => '1'
    );

    setcookie("username",$row["username"],strtotime("+1 day"));
    setcookie("background", $row["bg-color"] , strtotime("+1 year"));
?>

    You said "when i execute one the other is deleted", so I assume that sometimes you will submit the username, and sometimes you will submit the bg-color

    If you only rely on the request_method to execute the statements inside the if block, both the cookie variables will be re-assigned to the submitted post variables, so you should use further isset to determine which one to perform the assignment.

    Hence, please change to:

    if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {

  if (isset($_POST["username"]))  {
    setcookie("username",$_POST["username"],strtotime("+1 day"));
  }

  if (isset($_POST["bg-color"]))  {
    setcookie("background", $_POST["bg-color"] , strtotime("+1 year"));
  }

    header("location: " . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ,false);
    exit();
}
