Allowed Cookies URL in Privacy Settings

[Sprockets]

To allow the "good" cookies,

In IE6 I am using the Privacy tab, (Tools,Internet Options,Privacy)

Under the box, "Web Sites" I click Edit,

Then under, Per site Privacy Actions, it says to type the exact address.

What exactly does it mean?

Do I have to include http://www.yahoo.com or can I just put yahoo.com or
should I put the *.yahoo.com in the Allow box?

I know in the Trusted Sites I can use the http:// *.yahoo.com
should it be the same to accept cookies or how do I set it to accept all in
a domain?

Also under cookie settings I used Custom ,Overide automatic cookie handling,
Allow First party , Block Third party, Allow session cookies , checked.

Thanks,
Sprockets

Hi,
To block or allow cookies from selected sites, "yahoo.com" (without the ")
should be enough, You shouldn't have to use http or www or *.

Yes it did and I also did a lot of reading on Microsofts Knowledge Base
pages about cookies and security settings.

Any more questions I'll be sure to ask.
