Whitelist - please clarify wildcard meaning

See original GitHub issue

Feature

This is more of a request for documentation than a feature request.

It is not clear (for me) what happens when I only whitelist *.example.com but not example.com.

Will cookies from example.com be also whitelisted? So, does *.example.com include examples.com or not. If it does include it, it would be good if clicking on “whitelist *.example.com” would also activate the example.com whitelist button.

Seems like you’re correct

Might be worth mentioning that in the wiki as well.

I guess a “How expression work”-link somewhere in the popup or preferences to the wiki would be nice to have, since it is explained there: https://github.com/Cookie-AutoDelete/Cookie-AutoDelete/wiki/Documentation#enter-expression
