There’s not code readily available in oxide to import QtWebKit cookies, but
I guess you could write some if you really need to.
QtWebKit stores its cookies under $dataLocation/.QtWebKit/cookies.db, in an
sqlite database.
You might want to take a look at the "*cookie-store.[h|cpp]" files under
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/webbrowser-app/trunk/files/head:/src/app/webcontainer/,
it has some logic to read/write cookies from/to QtWebKit and Chromium.

See
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#chromium/src/content/public/browser/cookie_store_factory.h&q=SessionCookieMode&sq=package:chromium&l=42
for an explanation of what the various values for SessionCookieMode mean.

That looks similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/webbrowser-app/+bug/1324855,
the fact that you’re not using Ubuntu.Web seems to suggest the issue is in
oxide itself, would you mind commenting on the bug report to explain how
beru is also affected?
