I don't have the cookie prefix option in the VB Admin only in the PP admin but other than that they are the same. Here's my VB settings:

Path to Save Cookies
The path to which the cookie is saved. If you run more than one forum on the same domain, it will be necessary to set this to the individual directories of the forums. Otherwise, just leave it as / .


Suggested valid values for Cookie Path are available in the drop-down menu opposite. If you have a good reason to want a different setting, tick the checkbox and enter the desired value in the box provided.

Please note that your path should always end in a forward-slash; for example '/forums/', '/vbulletin/' etc.

Entering an invalid setting can leave you unable to login to your forum.

Cookie Domain
This option sets the domain on which the cookie is active. The most common reason to change this setting is that you have two different urls to your forum, i.e. example.com and forums.example.com. To allow users to stay logged into the forum if they visit via either url, you would set this to .example.com (note the domain begins with a dot.
.scrapoutsidethebox.com

Suggested valid values for Cookie Path are available in the drop-down menu opposite. If you have a good reason to want a different setting, tick the checkbox and enter the desired value in the box provided.

You most likely want to leave this setting blank as entering an invalid setting can leave you unable to login to your forum.
