Step back and apply some thought.

How does the web site, once you have logged into it, normally identify
that, from one http to the request, it is talking to the same client?

I would imagine that the website is presenting credentials to the browser
following a successful login, either using a value set in a hidden form
field, or setting a cookie, and then expecting the browser to use these
credentials to subsequently identify the user "session" to the website.

You will need to determine exactly how the website does this, and set
your curl calls up appropriately to retrieve and present such
"credentials" after "logging in".
