This directive controls the setting of the domain to which the tracking cookie applies. If not present, no domain is included in the cookie header field.
The domain string must begin with a dot, and
must include at least one embedded dot. That is,

and
.com
are not.
.co.uk

although such a domain ostensibly fulfills the requirements
above..com
, and allowing such cookies may be a security
risk. Thus, if you are under a two-part top level domain, you
should still use your actual domain, as you would with any other top
level domain (for example .example.co.uk
).
