            Bug ID: 268157
           Summary: [SOUP] Allow persisting session cookies
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKitGTK
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: mcatanzaro at redhat.com
                CC: bugs-noreply at webkitgtk.org

Chrome and Firefox have started persisting session cookies across browser resets (when their restore session preferences are enabled). WebKit currently discards all session cookies when the browser exits. I think Epiphany should persist the session cookies; some websites do not save logins in persistent cookies, which makes it much more convenient to use these websites in Firefox and Chrome because you don't have to log in again and again and again every time the browser is closed.

We should probably allow browsers to configure this somehow. And that's going to likely require changes in SoupCookieJar.
