Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Our Never Cache Cookies exclusion box accepts a partial match, so adding
wp_woocommerce_session_
will also exclude any cookie including that string on its name, like in the case of tokenized cookies, ie:wp_woocommerce_session_[TOKEN]
This is not clearly documented and it might lead users to understand the cookie match has to be literal.
Describe the solution you'd like
Additional context
On this doc we already recommend the usage of a partial match to exclude
yith_wcwl_session_
type cookies.On this issue: #1358 we are requesting the usage of wildcards, and it could lead users to think that any cookie exclusion has to be literal.

Suggested update to the help text (#3334 (comment)): Specify full or partial IDs of cookies that, when set in the visitor's browser, should prevent a page from getting cached (one per line). More info
