Knowing for certain whether you are being presented with a persistent
cookie is worth finding out. Press ^K after you have accepted a cookie
from a site which you think wants to save cookies to disk. Look for
`Maximum Gobble Date'.
If it specifies a date and time like this `Sun Sep 7 00:50:08 2014',
then it is a persistent cookie and it should be saved from memory to
~/.lynx_cookies when you close your browser.
However, if it says `End of session' the cookie is discarded from
memory on closing lynx but not saved to ~/lynx_cookies.
