When setting the cookie domain in the JavaScript Tracker with _paq.push(['setCookieDomain', '*.example.com']); piwik changes only some of the cookies it sets to this new value. The piwik_ignore cookie still uses the default page (which is the domain that is set in the iframe src I guess).
Is this intended behaviour, or should piwik_ignore also be changed by the setting?

Hi @atrioom - this is intended behavior, as the piwik_ignore cookie is set globally for all websites tracked in the Piwik. It excludes the user from all websites at once. The cookie is a third party cookie. As it was not so clear before, i've just clarified this in the FAQ: https://piwik.org/faq/how-to/faq_126/ - cheers
