If cookie store is not flushed, state might become inconsistent:
reading from the cookies file will become impossible.
No errors will be returned, yet no information will be available,
and no information will be stored: the cookie manager will appear to be
empty at all times and the Cookies file modified date will not update
moving forward.

This will result, for example, in Twitch chat window re-opening for
users which connected their Twitch account, but not having the
auth-token cookie available: once the user will try to send a
message to the chat, they will be redirected to Twitch login screen.
