I would prefer having one option for enabling cookies, and a separate
option that gives the location of the cookie file.

Once we start using more sophisticated locations for such files
(e.g. the XDG ones, or even special ones on macOS), it will be tricky
for users to enter the correct location (in a platform independent way,
etc.), so better provide a good default and let users just flip a switch
to enable cookies and have mundane things like file locations work
automatically.
