Site cookie question (Joomla specific)

Post by bootzy1 » Tue Oct 02, 2018 8:54 pm

Hi,

I am "auditing" site cookies for a number of sites for our company.

I have sites built in:
1 - HTML (3 sites)
2 - Joomla (2 sites)
3 - Drupal (1 site)

I can identify the majority of the cookies by their prefix (_ga, _gid, etc.).

The two JOOMLA sites have cookies that are strings of numbers and letters like this: a73c0de88d4c4b71a4c83e42b5ca457b

They have no identifiers.

Can anyone provide insight as to what those two cookies might be?

Thanks!
