And within any given session, the cookies should stay consistent - the
server may fiddle with the values, but only in a manner that is
consistent with keeping the session alive. Once you logout (or abandon
the session) the cookies should be invalidated.

The script equivalent of that behaviour would be to zap the cookie file
before the first call to curl, to make sure you always start fresh.
Then pass & save cookies on each curl call.
