In cases where the webtrends client cookie is not set (dev mode, or on hosts that aren't ama.ab.ca) that cookie won't be set, so we wanted to make sure it handled that gracefully. I think initially we had the string first and the matcher second, so nil would actually blow up with the to_s.

I tested out the matcher with nil as an argument and it passes so we can drop the to_s now. Just wanted to explain the nature of that cookie.
