Why If I block "sextracker.com" cookie then "www.sextracker.com" cookie is not blocked?
why sextracker.com doesn't block all *.sextracker.com variants?
I use Mozilla 1.7.5
www.sextracker.com cookie is not blocked with sextracker.com

One of the problems with blocking the whole server.
I am a co-owner of 12 Yahoo groups, I need certain cookies to show Yahoo my status, But I don't need Yahoo's 3 rd party advertisers
If I block the whole server then my groups status is also blocked
If I accept then I also have to accept over 200 of their crapware advertisers
Mozilla gives me the choice I need
Just a different thought

but why if you block a cookie from http://thisDomain.com using thisdomain.com filter then the cookie from http://thisdomain.com (without WWW) is not blocked? is it a bug?

There is some difficulty about programmatically deciding what the domain is, especially in relation to preventing/allowing cross-domain cookies. See bugs 252342 and 253974.
What Moz/FF needs, IMHO, is something that lets the user choose whether to apply settings to the subdomain only or to the whole domain. In the cookie confirmation dialog, when the user is blocking or allowing cookies, it would allow the user to choose, for example, "apply to all cookies from domainname.com" or "apply to cookies from ads.domainname.com only".
I searched for a bug on this and could not find one.
