Hi Polonus,

The string above is in hex format and translates to:
Code: [Select]
||||||||ar
Likely a common obfuscation algorithm.

Hi !Donovan,

It is a variant of Google Analytics common tracking code, an obfuscated.
To check one could run it against these resources: http://http-sniffer.find-my-search.com/en/web-sniff-of/malcode.nl/
But alas no result from there.
