The documentation in question is about Universal Analytics (a new version of the GA API).
To solve this problem, you have two options:
1) Using the traditional "Google Analytics" tag, under "Advanced Settings"> "Domains and Directories"> "Domain Name":
none
2) Or switch to the "Universal Analytics" tag in the Google Manager tag, configure the necessary fields in "Advanced Settings"> "Cookie Settings"> "Cookie Domain":
none
In both cases, this option must be disabled before the site starts.
