Hello, I allready understand you are using some cookies, I found in the forum.
There's only one left, that isn't listed in your answer, can you please provide me with the answer what this cookie does, is used for, expiration time etc?

I found this answer on the forum (Is my guess correct that this goes for every site that is using Addthis?):

loc - This is our geolocation cookie, so our publishers know approximately where people sharing information are located
Coyote-2-a0f0083 - This is our load balancer cookie
bt - A behavior targeting cookie
ana_svc - a real-time service cookie
phpbb3_* and style_cookie - These are set by our support forum software
__utm* - Google analytics tracking
uid/uit - User id and login time tracking
psc - View counter cookie
di/dt - Date tracking cookies for determining expiration of other cookies
ssh/sshs - Service share history, used for configuring our preferred services.
You can disable cookies by using this code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var addthis_config = { data_use_cookies:false }
</script>


But my question is about this cookie: uvc

Thank you in advance,
Ellen

That's correct. Other than the phpbb3_* cookies they're set by every site that uses AddThis.

The uvc cookie is set by our JavaScript and not transmitted to our servers. It stores the count that the user should see on the page temporarily while we update our cache

This question is closed to new answers.

Still need help?
