Query string in URL?

  • I was doing some testing with age verified posts today and I noticed that successful validation is adding a query string of “?age-verified=[value]” to the post URL. It doesn’t seem to do this in all browsers — it happened in Firefox, but not in Opera.

    I’m wondering what the query value is. It looks like a hash of some kind. It doesn’t appear to vary with the (arbitrary) birth date I enter, but I’m concerned about the possibility of exposing the user’s age or birth date in the URL string, even if it’s hashed.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]
