Better than this would be to change the path where the file is saved, putting it outside the root of your hosting (for example, outside the httpdocs directory or equivalent):

  • CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE is the path where cookies is stored and read during normal usage.

  • CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR is the path where cookies is stored after calling the cleanup function.

See the cURL for PHP options in the manual:
