The following relevant entries are in the whitelist:

.my.gov.au
my.gov.au
login.my.gov.au
https://login.my.gov.au

CookieMaster Version 1.2.1
Firefox 115.0.3 (64-bit)

Ahh, government login systems, the bane of my existence :)

I can replicate it easily enough; will take a closer look in the next couple of days to try and debug why (other than assuming that Setting allOK to false because .my.gov.au. was not allowed is probably where things have gone horribly wrong)

@KyleKirkpatrick It's the trailing dots in .my.gov.au.; the cookies RFC allows for ignoring leading dots which is handled by cookiemaster already, but the trailing dot is new and exciting.

As a workaround, you can go to CookieMaster Settings, put "my.gov.au." (with the trailing dot; leading dot is optional and not required) in the "Website address:" field, and click "Add Site". That worked for me, and I expect it will for you (may require a couple of reloads to get out of the interim broken state though).

I'll think about a code solution (seems trivial at first glance, but I need to think through implications), and hopefully release a new version soon.

Submitted version 1.2.2 for review; assuming it is accepted, it should be available for updating in the next day or two.

@craigmiskell Wow you're amazing. That was quick! Thank you so much for fixing my issue!
