@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public static void clearCookies(Context context)
{

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1) {
        Log.d(C.TAG, "Using clearCookies code for API >=" + String.valueOf(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1));
        CookieManager.getInstance().removeAllCookies(null);
        CookieManager.getInstance().flush();
    } else
    {
        Log.d(C.TAG, "Using clearCookies code for API <" + String.valueOf(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP_MR1));
        CookieSyncManager cookieSyncMngr=CookieSyncManager.createInstance(context);
        cookieSyncMngr.startSync();
        CookieManager cookieManager=CookieManager.getInstance();
        cookieManager.removeAllCookie();
        cookieManager.removeSessionCookie();
        cookieSyncMngr.stopSync();
        cookieSyncMngr.sync();
    }
}

I call this method in the following manner from my fragment:

mWebView.clearCache(true);
mWebView.clearHistory();

U.clearCookies(getActivity());

mWebView.loadUrl(authorizeURL);

It is possible to dump the cookies for a domain before and after the call to clearCookies by:

String yahooCookies = CookieManager.getInstance().getCookie("https://yahoo.com");
Log.d(C.TAG, "Cookies for yahoo.com:" + yahooCookies);

After calling clearCookies yahooCookies will be null.

This implementation feeds my needs, I have tested it on several emulators and a prehistoric Samsung Galaxy Gio with Android 2.3.3 and Nexus 5 with Android 5.1.1.
