Apparently, session-only cookies exist only in memory.  I thought I
would use SQLite Manager to create a dummy persistent cookie with the
same domain but a different name and data as the session-only cookie.
However, I could not find the session-only cookie in the cookies.sqlite
database even though I could see it in Cookies Manager.

Trump again proves he is a major source of fake news.  He wants
to cut off disaster funds to repair the damage caused by the
Woolsey Fire in southern California because he claims the state
fails to manage its forests properly.  The Woolsey Fire was NOT
a forest fire.  Starting in an industrial tract, it did not burn
through any forests.
