Cookies: Scope of cookies
has:

For example, if Path=/docs is set, these paths will match:

  • /docs
  • /docs/Web/

It's more complicated, see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265#page-16
Need an example with Path=/docs/; then subdirectories will match.

Need to update the same info in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Set-Cookie
