See #9358 (comment) and #9358 (comment)

As mentioned in the comments it would be nice to be more clear with the examples. Especially re subdomains and paths.

Also we could improve the sentence explaining this feature and mention subdomain/paths.

The second part of the FAQ https://piwik.org/faq/how-to/#faq_21077 could be adjusted to something like

It is possible to configure your website in Piwik so that only requests to “example.com” will be tracked, and all other requests ignored. Go to Administration > Websites > click “Edit”. Below the “URLs” field for your website, there is a checkbox “Only track visits and actions when the action URL starts with one of the above URLs.”. If you click this checkbox, and click “Save”, Piwik will then only track requests where the domain and the path is an exact match of one of the URLs you specified for this website. This means each valid subdomain has to be specified separately. For example when the known URLs are 'http://example.com/path' and 'http://good.example.com', tracking requests for 'http://example.com/otherpath' and 'http://bad.example.com' are ignored.
