Yes, it is an AppMeasurement cookie. s_ac cookie is meant to handle cookieDomainPeriod.

The documentation should be updated soon.

@dhallman1 Adobe Analytics cookies documentation is updated and now it includes s_ac cookie.

See about the cookies here: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/core-services/interface/data-collection/cookies/analytics

I don't find any info related to s_ac in documentation, are you using any plug-in cookies, sometimes they also set cookies. as @bjoern__koth mentioned, can you check the source code?

Hi,

We did some additional digging and found that this was a new cookie introduced with the latest version of App Measurement.

Thanks for your help!

HI @dhallman1

sounds new to most of us. Could I have a look at it (should there be a public website) to validate? Feel free to DM me.

The general Adobe Analytics cookies are listed here,

At first glance, the naming looks like an Adobe cookie, but I cannot find it documented anywhere. Also searched the internet for it and even Cookiepedia does not have much to say about it. Sometimes, Adobe Analytics extensions set a cookie (which name you can change as well). Have you searched the source code for which script is writing it?

If you have the URL, I can have a quick look at it.

Cheers
