How can I use an array of values as a jQuery selector argument?

Question

I would like to have an array of classes/IDs and then on a click function using jQuery pass each of those values to that function to exclude them from the event rather than have numerous :not calls as I currently have which works but is a bit ugly to me.

 var excludes = [
          '#seeMore',
          '#readMore',
          '#isiToTop',
          '.btn-cta--download',
          '.videoModalTrigger',
        ];

        $(
          "a[href]:not('#seeMore'):not('#readMore'):not('#isiToTop'):not('.btn-cta--download'):not('.videoModalTrigger')"
        ).click(function () {
          _siteNs.Utils.deleteCookie('5_Signs');
        });

The whole concept (hardcode list of elements excluded from behaviour) isn’t exactly clean, though. What does deleting this cookie mean? — Ry-

Yea that is true! A strange request from a client and how a page is built I have to set cookies but delete them conditionally. thanks for advice! — hendy0817
