When youtube-dl runs multiple instances, cookies are overwritten #22613

Single cookie file is not supposed to be shared across simultaneous youtube-dl instances in the first place. |

Description
If I run more than one simultaneous youtube-dl instance on different sites, with a cookie jar (--cookie), the jars are overwritten each time. The result is that you keep just the cookies from the last write.
That is expected according to the Python documentation on cookiejar but it does not allow for multiple simultaneous downloads from different sites, if cookies are involved.
