Enhancement to add a field to the cookie repository that would show the user the
page where the cookie was set.  This would mainly be used by developers, but may
also be beneficial to non-developers as well.

Note: Due to the sensitivity of the cookies.txt file, it may be more prudent to
delay the enhancement until an alternative repository method can be implemented
(e.g., SQLite) in the future.

i don't see much of a practical use for this, so wontfixing. (the "developers" audience in comment 0 supports that.) for most cases, the site that set the cookie is going to be very similar to the cookie host anyway - the difference would probably elude (and/or confuse) most users.
