: Does Google Analytics automatically handle URLs containing a jsessionid? When a user visits my web site, the first page they load has a jsessionid appended to the URL like this: http://foo.com/Welcome.do;jsessionid=1234567890a

When a user visits my web site, the first page they load has a jsessionid appended to the URL like this:
foo.com/Welcome.do;jsessionid=1234567890abcdef
Note that the jsessionid parameter is separated using a ; and not a ? like typical query parameters.

Given that this is a fairly common pattern for sites with a Java backend, does Google Analytics automatically account for this somehow and ignore the ; and everything after it?

If not, what must I do to tell Google Analytics to ignore the ;jsessionid portion of a URL?

Setup your Google Analytics to exclude the jsessionid
cutroni.com/blog/2006/09/21/google-analytics-configuration-mistake-2-query-string-variables/

To force GA to skip certain query string parameters when processing we
enter the unwanted parameters in the ‘Exclude URL Query Parameters:’
filed in the ‘Main Website Profile Information’ section.


If Google doesn't recognize the bit after the = sign use Advanced Filters support.google.com/googleanalytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55461
