# 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](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fquery-string-in-url%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
