The answer depends on what kind of web application you are testing.
Some applications will keep cookies to remember that you logged in, and in that case if you are using DeleteCookies then you will have to log in again.
Other types of applications keep the login data internal to the browser -- there are sometimes called "session cookies" -- and once you are logged in you stay logged in so long as that browser session is active.
In this case you may just as well log in once, then do all of your tests, and then log out.
An alternative way to do this is to arrange a new "test driver page" that invokes your login page as a separate window. Then your test script can start on you special test driver page by clicking on the login page, which opens in a new window, and you can then close that window at the end of your test to erase the context.
