It's more likely that your cookiedomain is .deansbeans.com, which
doesn't match deansbeans.com because of the leading dot.  The domain
deansbeans.com actually does have two dots, as all domain names end with
the root domain, so even though almost no applications show the root,
the domain is actually 'deansbeans.com.'
