Random codes appearing at the end of URLs (WordPress site)

Wordpress

I use WordPress on my website and I've noticed the following code at the end of URLs when viewing pages/posts. The codes vary depending on the browser (Chrome, Safari and Firefox.)

  • Chrome: #.T08yOCM5CDU
  • Safari: #.T08yRZg5D8s
  • Firefox: #.T08yaiM5CDU

Is it simply a way for Google to track my site's hits?

Are my readers seeing this?

My site's URL is http://www.internationalpolicydigest.org/

I noticed this on a site I worked on - The client had enabled 'Track address bar shares' in the addthis plugin. Un-ticking this option removed the codes from the sites URLs
