Due to weird domain/subdomain cookie issues that I&#39;m getting, I&#39;d like to know how browsers handle cookies. If they do it in different ways, it would also be nice to know the differences.

In other words - when a browser receives a cookie, that cookie MAY have a domain and a path attached to it. Or not, in which case the browser probably substitutes some defaults for them. Question 1: what are they?

Later, when the browser is about to make a request, it checks its cookies and filters out the ones it should send for that request. It does so by matching them against the requests path and domain. Question 2: what are the matching rules?
&lt;hr/&gt;
**Added:**

The reason I&#39;m asking this is because I&#39;m interested in some edge cases. Like:

 * Will a cookie for `.example.com` be available for `www.example.com`?
 * Will a cookie for `.example.com` be available for `example.com`?
 * Will a cookie for `example.com` be available for `www.example.com`?
 * Will a cookie for `example.com` be available for `anotherexample.com`?
 * Will `www.example.com` be able to set cookie for `example.com`?
 * Will `www.example.com` be able to set cookie for `www2.example.com`?
 * Will `www.example.com` be able to set cookie for `.com`?
 * Etc.

**Added 2:**

Also, could someone suggest how I should set a cookie so that:

 * It can be set by either `www.example.com` or `example.com`;
 * It is accessible by both `www.example.com` and `example.com`.
