If you want to do this to provide some sort of automatic upgrade in a click app,
note that application isolation will block access to outside of the application
specific directory. That said, if your app was previously working as a copnfined
click package, the QtWebkit cookies should be somewhere in one of app's writable
areas-- eg, ~/.cache/<pkgname>, ~/.config/<pkgname>, or ~/.local/share/<pkgname>.
