Hi All -

In the JS tracker, or in the tracking requests, we see that there is a parameter that is getting sent to Matomo, as

‘&r=’ + String(Math.random()).slice(2, 8) + // keep the string to a minimum

This is actually from the tracker code.

Not sure of the significance or use of this. I don’t see the documentation to this parameter reference in

https://developer.matomo.org/api-reference/tracking-api

Also this is not used in the “Request.php” file while processing contents in the Matomo server.

If this is not used, can we just remove this from the query string parameters, and avoid any confusion to anyone else, and have less data being sent to the Matomo tracking servers.

Thanks in advance.

Regds,
Sivakumar
