The parameters typically follow a "?" at the end of the main data section of the URL. In this configuration, the CSS functions in a similar manner as when using the advanced-balance cookies command; however, the CSS looks in the URL after the '?' for the cookie. Using the full configuration of the "Sticky Based on a Configured String in an HTTP Cookie Header" section, the only difference is the advanced-balance url command in the content rule.
