Cookie settings

Cookie domain: In most cases the cookie domain is optional. Leave it blank if you are unsure. In the case where you have a board integrated with other software or have multiple domains, then to determine the cookie domain you need to do the following. If you have something like example.com and forums.example.com, or perhaps forums.example.com and blog.example.com. Remove the subdomains until you find the common domain, example.com. Now add a dot in front of the common domain and you would enter .example.com (note the dot at the beginning).

Cookie name: This can be anything what you want, make it original. Whenever the cookie settings are changed the name of the cookie should be changed.

Cookie path: This will usually be the same as your script path or simply a slash to make the cookie accessible across the site domain.

Cookie secure: If your server is running via SSL set this to enabled else leave as disabled. Having this enabled and not running via SSL will result in server errors during redirects.: Enabled Disabled

Cookie notice: If enabled a cookie notice will be displayed to users when visiting your board. This might be required by law depending on the content of your board and enabled extensions.: Enabled Disabled
