Problem with cookies in Yii2?

Question

Yii

There is a website with companies. The company can be added to favorites and removed. The selected company ID is stored in cookies. On the company page, everything works without problems. The company is added and removed from cookies without problems. But on the page with a list of selected companies, it's just mystic)). After adding a company, it appears on the favorites page either immediately or after the nth number of reloads. Same with removal. An example of work can be viewed on the pages - Company page (cookies work correctly) , Favorites page (cookies work as they want) . Adding and deleting occurs by clicking on the star.
Here is part of the code for setting cookies

$favorite[] = $id; //Идентификатор компании для добавления
$cookies = Yii::$app->response->cookies;
$cookies->add(new \yii\web\Cookie([
    'name' => 'favoriteCompanies',
    'value' => serialize($favorite),
    'expire' => time() +  60*60*24*365
]));

and so I get

$cookies = Yii::$app->request->cookies;
if ($cookies->has('favoriteCompanies') && $cookies->getValue('favoriteCompanies') != '')
   return $cookies->getValue('favoriteCompanies');
else {
   return false;
}

Deleting a company simply removes its ID from the array $favorite. The code for handling cookies on both pages is the same. Tell me what could be the problem.
PS There is definitely a problem. Tested by several people. You need to add several companies to your favorites, and then go to the Favorites page and try to delete them from there. In general, I finish the site after another encoder, he implemented it through cookies. I just thought where is the mistake. And now I just want to understand why this option does not work. After all, few places still have to work with cookies. And here it is. And the problem is not only with setting cookies using the framework. Standard php code works exactly the same. And what is most interesting, I followed the process, the cookie is deleted, and on subsequent loading, the Favorites are alive again, and so an indefinite number of times, until after the next page reload it still dies.

I don’t see such glitches, everything works fine, it can be removed / added, the bug could not be reproduced (
Googlechrome, Windows 7. Perhaps you have some development extension that is not very gentle with cookies? Try a different browser, ask your friends test the page, most likely the bug is local in nature, if I were you I would store it not in the cookie but in the session, in the hardcore version in the database), but in the cookie just some userkey. I don’t think that a user will come in a year and be like this: “Oh, Christmas trees, I had so many useful things in my favorites!” ) But if you really want to - write to the database, pull it out by key.
