I just saw this post, where an potential justification was provided for a similar script in the past: https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/335956/adzerk-servi...

It's hard to read the obfuscated code and be sure what's being done with the browser environment information. This script seems to generate some hash and put in some global variables, presumably for some other script to consume. I don't know whether such scripts send it to a server, compare it locally to a previously-known value, or ignore it.
