Feature request: Option to make cookie deleting less specific #4

Hello and thank you very much for creating cookie-lympha!

I have a question: Would it be possible to have a setting to make the domain-matching less strict?

For example: Firefox displays the website "https://my.ebay.de". When I hit the lympha-button some ebay cookies are removed, but not all of them. When I visit "https://www.ebay.de" and hit the lympha-button again, some more are removed, but still not all of them. For example "ebay.com" and subdomain cookies like "gha.ebay.de", "reg.ebay.de" and "picupload.ebay.de" still persist.

I would love a setting, where all cookies containing the string "ebay" are removed. Regardless of top-level-domain or subdomain Would that be possible?

Best regard!

Thank you for the addon. Simple and to the point.

The enhancement request by sicherist is for me a key one. I faced the same result when consulting (for example) https://link.springer.com/ . It only clears one cookie whereas there are 4 from *.springer.com This is important for me as I usually browse articles sites and when I want to access their content I turn the VPN to my institution. Some of the times I need to clear the cookies so to be recognized as an institutional user, and for the particular example of springer the relevant one is not at link.springer.com.

Thanks again
