Requests session object automatically takes care of cookies -

import requests
import re

emsg='you are browsing in Private Mode'
user_agent = {'User-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0'}

url = 'https://instagram.com/'
url2 = 'https://instagram.com/accounts/login/'
values = {'username': 'username',
              'password': 'password'}

session = requests.Session()
session.headers.update(user_agent)
session.get(url2)

r = session.post(url2, data=values)

print r.request.headers['Cookie']
target = open('filename.html', 'w')
target.write(r.content)
target.close()

if re.findall(emsg,r.content):
    print "\n\n\n\n Enable cookies please\n\n\n\n"
else:
    print"\n\n\n\nSomething is changed\n\n\n\n"
