Title: Respect the `sessionCookie` flag for the SC_GU_LA cookie [#MEM-403]

A go-around for https://github.com/guardian/frontend/pull/6193 ... This is part of the work to enforce that users are recently signed-in when they view their personal profile:

The Identity API will now be proving Cookie info for the new SC_GU_LA cookie, which stores when the user last authenticated:

...this change to NGW Frontend is required to get it to respect the new `sessionCookie` flag, so that the SC_GU_LA cookie is only session-scoped and dies when the user closes the browser.

Added `sessionCookie` default of None to make the tests pass...
