We have noticed an unusual cookie in our logs:

PRUM_EPISODES=s=1379338025465&r=http%3A//www.example.com/demo.html

I presume it's a 3rd party control on our site which creates this. Does anyone know which one?

  • We spent time time today working out where some unusual cookies being stored by our site were being generated from. We did quite a few google searches for the cookie name, but there were no results. When we worked out the source of the cookie thought it was a good idea to add this as a question/answer here so that others searching for the same info on Google could find this. – Karl Glennon Sep 18 '13 at 16:07

    This one I also discovered the source of from a trivial Google search. What are you trying to do? – Michael Hampton Sep 18 '13 at 16:13
  • Hi Michael - I couldn't find this. Can you point me to the link please? I was only trying to get this information somewhere that could be found by others. There is no ulterior motive here. To me it seemed like a good piece of information for others to find the answer to. – Karl Glennon Sep 18 '13 at 16:39
  • https://www.google.com/search?q=PRUM_EPISODES+cookie ... Of course, now _your_ post accounts for half a dozen of the search results, displacing the good content. – Michael Hampton Sep 18 '13 at 16:43
  • Hi Michael - what is the good content? There is no intent to cause a problem or displace good results. I can't see the good results you are referring to...? and we couldn't see them earlier today when we were looking into this, which is why I posted this first on stackoverflow, and then here when I was advised that this was a better home for it. – Karl Glennon Sep 18 '13 at 16:47
