Why are cookies unavailable from Opera extension background page?

Question

I try to write Opera extension, it must be able to call AJAX requests to third-party site.

What I have in config.xml:

<access origin="*" />

I am authorized on this third-party site: please find that cookie exists

I call AJAX using jQuery from background page in a very simple way:

$.ajax(params);

What I get in Dragonfly? AJAX call is sent, but no cookies in request. Please see a screenshot: enter image description here

Problem exists only on extension background page. Simple access to this site transfers cookies well.

What am I doing wrong? How to make background page see my cookies? Or what is another way to call third-party site from my extension?

Thanks Larry, I am afraid it is not a duplicate. I tried to set withCredentials field. Also I've checked domain - it is correct. — Dmitrii Tarasov, Dec 16 '12 at 10:46

When I read Ajax request to third party site I directly think about cross domain restrictions: Cross domain cookies

Thank you for the answer, but cross domain cookies are allowed for browser extensions... – Dmitrii Tarasov Dec 16 '12 at 10:44
@DmitryTarasov if you have an article that explains that please post it, I know that they are secured by the browser. – Mehdi Karamosly Dec 17 '12 at 16:51
