     <p>The domain string <strong>must</strong> begin with a dot, and
     <strong>must</strong> include at least one embedded dot. That is,
     <code>.example.com</code> is legal, but <code>www.example.com</code> and

     for a two-part top level domain, such as <code>.co.uk</code>,
     although such a domain ostensibly fulfills the requirements
     above.<br />

     These domains are equivalent to top level domains such as
     <code>.com</code>, and allowing such cookies may be a security

     years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds. If the expiry
     time is in any format other than one number indicating the
     number of seconds, it must be enclosed by double quotes.</p>

     <p>This directive allows you to change the name of the cookie
     this module uses for its tracking purposes. By default the
     cookie is named "<code>Apache</code>".</p>

     <p>You must specify a valid cookie name; results are
     unpredictable if you use a name containing unusual characters.
     Valid characters include A-Z, a-z, 0-9, "_", and "-".</p>

     <p>This directive controls the format of the cookie header
     field. The three formats allowed are:</p>

     <ul>
       <li><strong>Netscape</strong>, which is the original but now deprecated
       syntax. This is the default, and the syntax Apache has
       historically used.</li>

       <li><strong>Cookie</strong> or <strong>RFC2109</strong>, which is the syntax that
       superseded the Netscape syntax.</li>

       <li><strong>Cookie2</strong> or <strong>RFC2965</strong>, which is the most
       current cookie syntax.</li>
     </ul>

     <p>Not all clients can understand all of these formats, but you
     should use the newest one that is generally acceptable to your
     users' browsers. At the time of writing, most browsers support all
     three of these formats, with <code>Cookie2</code> being the
     preferred format.</p>

     <p>When <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_usertrack.html">mod_usertrack</a></code> is loaded, and
     <code>CookieTracking on</code> is set, Apache will send a
     user-tracking cookie for all new requests. This directive can
     be used to turn this behavior on or off on a per-server or
     per-directory basis. By default, enabling
     <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_usertrack.html">mod_usertrack</a></code> will <strong>not</strong>
     activate cookies. </p>

	<p>This directive allows you to change the name of the cookie
	this module uses for its tracking purposes. By default the
	cookie is named "<code>Apache</code>".</p>

	<p>You must specify a valid cookie name; results are
	unpredictable if you use a name containing unusual characters.
	Valid characters include A-Z, a-z, 0-9, "_", and "-".</p>

	<p>This directive controls the format of the cookie header
	field. The three formats allowed are:</p>

	<ul>
	<li><strong>Netscape</strong>, which is the original but now deprecated
	syntax. This is the default, and the syntax Apache has
	historically used.</li>

	<li><strong>Cookie</strong> or <strong>RFC2109</strong>, which is the syntax that
	superseded the Netscape syntax.</li>

	<li><strong>Cookie2</strong> or <strong>RFC2965</strong>, which is the most
	current cookie syntax.</li>
	</ul>

	<p>Not all clients can understand all of these formats, but you
	should use the newest one that is generally acceptable to your
	users' browsers. At the time of writing, most browsers support all
	three of these formats, with <code>Cookie2</code> being the
	preferred format.</p>

	<p>When <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_usertrack.html">mod_usertrack</a></code> is loaded, and
	<code>CookieTracking on</code> is set, Apache will send a
	user-tracking cookie for all new requests. This directive can
	be used to turn this behavior on or off on a per-server or
	per-directory basis. By default, enabling
	<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_usertrack.html">mod_usertrack</a></code> will <strong>not</strong>
	activate cookies. </p>
