Seems just recently all my pages have added strings on them...
This used to be the address http://swans-candle-supplies.com/store/colorchips.html now it has all this other stuff added to it...Is it somethinh Hostcentric has added?

Those extra URL query parameters are usually added when you enable the built-in Google Analytics in ShopSite and your SSL URL for checkout / thank you does not match your main website URL. Google uses these codes to track activity between your store pages and the cart / checkout process when the domains are not the same, as cookies cannot go across domains.

Thanks, someday I will get my partner to let me switch to you, shared hosting is cheap but very limited...
