This is about supporting multiple web processes for the same WebContext.
Those settings you mention are always shared for the same web context,
so a network process is used in this case to use the same cookies, disk
cache, etc.

For this you need to use different web contexts, which is not currently
supported in our API, because we haven't found a use case yet. It would
be easy to add, we would just need to expose webkit_web_context_new().
If you need it, please file a bug report and expose your use case there.
