I can confirm this bug was fixed. I am now using _testing_ and the bug
no longer exists.

However, the opposite seems to happen now (cookies from other domains
are popping up). I'd like confirmation here in case I'm mistaken.

For example, after having erased all cookies, I visit
http://www.emol.com (news site from Chile) and cookies from the
following sites pop up in my personal data:

.hits.e.cl
.emol.com
ads.emol.com
www.emol.com
.scorecardresearch.com

As I understand the configuration setting, the domains ".hits.e.cl" and
".scorecardresearch.com" have no business being added when I'm visiting
emol.com. Should this be filed as another bug?

Relevant packages,
libsoup2.4-1 v2.30.1-1
libwebkit-1.0-2 v1.1.90-1
epiphany-browser v2.29.3-1

Bye,
-Felipe
