Thanks for the link to Cookiepedia; I note that it can't identify either ryck's "_fluid" or "girlscout".
the "cf" is CouldFlare, not sure on the "d", and "uid" in this case is Unique IDentifier, not "User ID".
Still wondering what ryck's __cfluid might be.
Hmmmm....could be a mea culpa here. I'm now wondering, given all the excellent cookie information that's been presented in this thread, if just misread what I saw in the beginning. Perhaps I actually saw
_cfduid but misread it as
_cfluid as in: Old eyes + Tiny print = Reading Error.
