What the NSC_ cookie does
This cookie name is associated with the Netscaler load balancing service from Citrix. This is a pattern type cookie with the root being NSC_ and the rest of the name being a unique encrypted alpha numeric identifier for the virtual server it originated from. The cookie is used to ensure traffic and user data is routed to the correct locations where a site is hosted on multiple servers, so that the end user has a consistent experience.
The name ends in a part that changes from visitor to visitor or site to site, so this entry covers every cookie whose name starts with NSC_.
Who sets it
Consent category: functional
Functional cookies remember a choice the visitor made, such as a language, a region or a layout preference. They are not essential, so visitors in the EU must be able to decline them, and a site should not set them before consent.
