--junk-session-cookiesWhen curl is told to read cookies from a given file, this option makes it discard all session cookies. This has the same effect as if a new session is started. Typical browsers discard session cookies when they are closed down.
Session cookies are cookies without a set expiry time. They are meant to only last for “a session”.
