I've confirmed this before, too. AA.com does use cookies, as mentioned, and my experience is that the last booking, search result or query that I "touch" on AA.com reflects whatever happens next. I once was searching for a ticket and was on the purchase page, then on a separate tab wanted to check one last time for the $ difference between Y and F. So I did that, and decided not to pursue it. When I went back to the tab with the purchase screen, and clicked purchase, it booted me backwards to the "fare has increased" screen showing me now in F.
I closed down the browser and restarted and was fine after that. Learned lesson about multiple tabs/windows on AA.com though.
