If you are using Ubuntu or Pulseaudio, then it's not related to
cookies (I would doubt it is related to cookies anyway). It's a known
bug, pulseaudio exposes a bug in flash's use of alsa.

There's an option in Edit > Personal data for this, it's not automatic
though. Maybe you could try to hack an extension with Python, I guess
it would be a matter of calling the cleanup function like in the C
source:

            EphyCookieManager *manager;

            manager = EPHY_COOKIE_MANAGER (ephy_embed_shell_get_embed_single
                               (EPHY_EMBED_SHELL (ephy_shell)));

            ephy_cookie_manager_clear (manager);

This is what you want if I'm not mistaken:

>>> epiphany.EmbedShell().get_embed_single().clear()
<built-in method clear of __main__.MozillaEmbedSingle object at 0x8609194>

That one, you have to code your extension to be aware of the last
closed window, and not just on any closed window, there are plenty of
examples in the wiki:
