This is because some cookies set domain / path / port attributes explicitly,
while some do not, in which case values of those attributes are derived from
the properties of the origin server.
Consider the following example:
Set-Cookie:
stuff="very important"; path="/"; domain="myhost.mydomain.com"; version=1
Set-Cookie:
stuff="very important"; version=1
These two cookies are obviously different but they essentially represent the
same piece of state information if sent in response to a request for
"http://myhost.mydomain.com/index.html";

A cookie does not get added to the cookie store only if it has expired.
Hope this helps
