Wildcard not working in cookies exceptions

I need to block cookies from a whole set of subdomains, which I don't even know all. So I tried setting a block rule for "http://*.domain.com" and "https://*.domain.com" but cookies are still allowed. When I set a specific "http://www.subdomain13.domain.com" rule, it works, but I want any and all subdomains to be blocked. What should I do?

Could you try it without the asterisk? In other words:

http://domain.com https://domain.com

jscher2000, it works! It doesn't make much sense when you first think about it, but it works. And it also respects sub-rules. E.g., if http://domain.com is blocked and http://subdomain1.domain.com is allowed, cookies are all blocked, but those created when visiting any http://subdomain1.domain.com URL are allowed (even if they relate or belong to http://domain.com, but I guess this has to do with the third party cookies setting, and this does not bother me, at least for now).

So thanks!
