This example does both. The cookie jar adds the cookies to the http request
to be sent to the server, and updates the cookies from the response, if any
were sent. It seems pretty clear, seeing that it has a lot of comments.

The cookies from the site are thus in the cookie jar object after the call
to extract_cookies() extracts them from the response.

You should really test this yourself ;)
