adobe cookies name ?

The Adobe Analytics visitor ID is stored in s_vi cookie. There is also the fallback ID (which covers when 3rd party cookies cant be set) called s_fid.
The final common Adobe Analytics cookie is called s_cc. If you see it, it will always be set to 'true'. this is the cookie check cookie and literally provides a way for the javascript to check whether it can set 1st party cookies on the site.

What is definition of the following query in adobe parameter query string.

Parameter Value
D D=
C4 D=v10

dmpg_tom dmpg_tom, 14:51 15 Jan 16

Good question. This notation enables a parameter to equal the same as another parameter without having to duplicate the data.
So in your example, C4=D=v10 - this means that prop4 (c4) = the same value as eVar10 (v10).
this notation can be used for almost all parameters.
