<![CDATA[Problem with Cookie exceptions]]>This is the format example provided [*.]example.com. The problem I type * then . as soon as the "." is typed the field turns red indicating it's disallowed, even though the example says it allowed.

Further, I deleted all cookies from "msn", then I entered the following exception msn.com and selected "Blocked", went to the website, but after a search for "msn", cookies for that site were still found including for the exact match "msn.com".

What going on?

Thanks again for your help.

However, alls well that ends well, as "[*.]msn.com" blocked all cookies from msn.

However, I still have issues: First, "msn.com" failed to block cookies to that specific reference; second, opera should never have used [] that are universally used to indicate optional-parameters. Why not just use "*.msn.com" that is universally used by search engines.

Thanks for the help.

You should note that it will validate only after you have written the full address.

The [] are there only to indicated optional parameters and are not to be included.
