Question on cookies

Recommended Posts

I have a number of cookies that I want to keep because they are on sites that I regularly visit. Now a large numer of them have two versions:

  • domain.suffix
  • www.domain.suffix

Question: is it necessary to keep both (or all, as some have also other prefixes than www), or is the domain name alone enough for Ccleaner to keep everything with that domain name?

Answering my own question. Did a little experiment. There were two cookies for Firefox: search.microsoft.com and www.microsoft.com

 

In Cookies to keep I have specified microsoft.com, but not search.microsoft.com or www.microsoft.com

 

After running Ccleaner, both cookies were gone. So the answer is: I have to keep the full URL specification, not only the domain name.
