I can't find standard Google Analytics paramters in the query string of the collect image that sends the param-value-pairs to my Google Analytics account.

In the network tab of Chrome Dev Tools I search for analytics and take look at the collect image query string, like so:



Why are there no param-value-pairs listed for information that is captured by default, like dh for hostname or dr for the referrer?

Can I find them somewhere else?

As @nyuen pointed out the hostname is an optional query-string-parameter. What I failed to realize before is that Google Analytics automatically extracts the hostname from the full page url stored under the dl parameter, if the dr parameter isn't provided separartly.

In general, it seems GA paramters which are not set are notlisted in the query string. As for referrer, the dr parameter could not be found, because the URL was called from the browsers's address bar.
