* Changes in Wget 1.9+.
** The new option `--keep-session-cookies' causes `--save-cookies' to
save session cookies along with the permanent ones. This is useful on
sites that require you to log in before you can access some pages.
With this option, multiple Wget runs will be treated as a single
browser session.

@cindex saving cookies
@cindex cookies, saving
@item --save-cookies @var{file}
Save cookies to @var{file} at the end of session. Cookies whose expiry
time is not specified, or those that have already expired, are not
saved.
Save cookies to @var{file} before exiting. This will not save cookies
that have expired or that have no expiry time (so-called ``session
cookies''), but also see @samp{--keep-session-cookies}.
@cindex cookies, session
@cindex session cookies
@item --keep-session-cookies
When specified, causes @samp{--save-cookies} to also save session
cookies. Session cookies are normally not save because they are
supposed to be forgotten when you exit the browser. Saving them is
useful on sites that require you to log in or to visit the home page
before you can access some pages. With this option, multiple Wget runs
are considered a single browser session as far as the site is concerned.
Since the cookie file format does not normally carry session cookies,
Wget marks them with an expiry timestamp of 0. Wget's
@samp{--load-cookies} recognizes those as session cookies, but it might
confuse other browsers. Also note that cookies so loaded will be
treated as other session cookies, which means that if you want
@samp{--save-cookies} to preserve them again, you must use
@samp{--keep-session-cookies} again.
