One way cookie jar in Apollo

It appears that Apollo has a strange way of dealing with cookies. It seems to be able to accept them when using URLRequest, which will then allow you to access a soap page for secure web services. However there seems to be no way to distroy them. I have tried using URLRequest to go to a logout page which should distroy the browsers cookie (not sure how apollo deals with this) but it will still seem to have a cookie the next time I go to login. I then tried it on a new machine and it failed to work (cookie did not exist) which makes me wonder if you can use URLRequest for security over soap, or if you have to build your security into the soap its self. Please let me know if you know any more about this.
