New description:
When using Google Analytics on a Django project with CacheMiddleware and
SessionMiddleware turned on, the Cookies that Google Analytics apparently
change on each reload, invalidating the Vary: Cookie parameter that
SessionMiddleware is setting.
There should be a way to define cookie prefixes, such as ``'__utm'``, to
ignore for cookie variation for caching.

If you look at the discussion, this isn't a bug; it's really a new
feature.
The version field tracks the version the bug was reported in.
Related: #15201. Caching is hard.
