Tag Name strip_query_terms
Usage strip_query_terms on|off

Description
Squid by default does not log query parameters. These parameters are
however forwarded to the server verbatim. If we want to enable logging of
query parameters, the strip_query_terms directive can be used .

By default, Squid strips query terms from requested URLs before logging.
This protects your user's privacy

Default strip_query_terms on
