Advanced Tab
- Cookie path
- Specifies the path for the cookie, which is the subset of URLs to which a cookie should be sent. Usually, this field should not be altered. For details on cookie path, see Netscape's Cookie Specification and RFC 2109.
- Cookie domain
- Specifies a domain restriction pattern. Usually, this field should not be altered. A domain specifies the servers that should see a cookie.
