lihuang -> mcepl Yes. cookies are blocked without www. . Thank you (this mean "google.com" is the *exact address of the site* , right ? ) I had a try on firefox-3.0.1-1.fc9.i386 "google.com" "www.google.com" and "http://www.google.com" both work.
No, I think it means, that the URL for which the cookie is requested matches the string you put there (i.e., "google.com" in our case).
