If you never access self.session() then it should not be created. But
as soon as you do, I don't see how WebKit has any other choice but to
create it.

You can safely check for a session without creating one with
self.transaction().hasSession() and then only update the session if
there is one. Several of my apps have done so to avoid the problem you
describe.
