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

The documentation should be updated soon.

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

Hi,

 

We did some additional digging and found that this cookie was introduced with the latest version of AppMeasurement. Thanks for your help!

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 @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.

Cheers from Switzerland!
