The change looks fine, but I don't see that session cookies are being cleared out, unless the call to curl_easy_cleanup() is doing this when the CURLopt_COOKIESESSION  is enabled. That this is correct?
Can you confirm?

So, does this call cause cURL To discard  the session cookies?

Yes, you are absolutely right.

The documentation states that when a cookie file is set (with CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR),
all known cookies will be written to this file when curl_easy_cleanup() is called.
Setting CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION to 1 before closing the handle will remove all session cookies before the cookie database is written to disk.
Also see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html (CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR and CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION).
