Symfony already implements the functionality of logging user out and deleting cookies. There is a LogoutListener who delegates those action to couple of logout handlers: CookieClearingLogoutHandler and SessionLogoutHandler. I think the best course of action would be to call those handlers and not to implement such low-level logic yourself. However, I can't find a way to do this.

Why not simply create a service that calls those?

I looked into Symfony\Component\Security\Http\Firewall\LogoutListener and tested that he calls 2 services during logout (Symfony 3.2.9).

$tokenBasedRememberMeServices by the way deletes the remember-me cookie.

sessionLogoutHandler = $sessionLogoutHandler;
        $this->tokenBasedRememberMeServices = $tokenBasedRememberMeServices;
        $this->defaultLogoutSuccessHandler = $defaultLogoutSuccessHandler;
        $this->tokenStorage = $tokenStorage;
    }

    public function logout(Request $request): void
    {
        $token = $this->tokenStorage->getToken();
        $response = $this->defaultLogoutSuccessHandler->onLogoutSuccess($request);
        $this->sessionLogoutHandler->logout($request, $response, $token);
        $this->tokenBasedRememberMeServices->logout($request, $response, $token);
    }

}
