When I run chrome, it creates a new process for each instance. Why would each process instance have access to the same session cookie? Even all the incognito instances share the same session cookie. How can I turn this off?

Because not sharing the cookie jar would cause nonintuitive behavior — for instance, if you opened a site in one tab, logged in, then opened a new tab and navigated to that same site, you would be logged out in that tab.
There are instructions on how you can set up multiple separate profiles here:

As far as I’m aware, though, there’s no way to use a separate cookie jar without a whole separate profile.
