Why is ?_ga=2.1xxxxxxxx..... added to my URL?

Why do some of my .aspx pages add this to the URL? (ex. www.url.com/filename.aspx?_ga=2.176514797.910954863.1579199334-2140930447.1563381308

I don't know why it adds ?_ga=2.176514797.910954863.1579199334-2140930447.1563381308 to the end of the URL when I bring the file up in the browser. Is that something that I'm doing wrong?

You're referring to a query parameter.

The site www.url.com added this query parameter, so only the owner of this site can tell you why this was added.

You'll open a support ticket with the site www.url.com for specific information about their URL generation.

Thank you @David Favor for the feedback. Ok. I am familiar with query parameters. I use them sometimes when I want to communicate with a database. I created these pages. After I save them and look at them in the browser the query parameter is there but I'm not pulling anything from a database and I didn't add them. These are basically static pages. That's why I'm confused as to why they are there.
