Please help to resolve it.

You can check the code of the Telerik.Sitefinity.Clients.JS.StatsClient.debug.js file with JustDecompile (Telerik.Sitefinity.dll) OR just inspect the javascript requests from a page and you will find it in one of the WebResource.axd requests.

This is what the LogVisit method looks like (which creates the cookie)

LogVisit: function (pageNodeId, randomId) {
        var that = this;
        var logVisit = function (pageNodeId, randomId) {
            if (!that._canTrack) return;

            var trackingCookieName = "sf-trckngckie"

            var trackingId = that.readCookie(trackingCookieName);
            if (!trackingId) {
                trackingId = randomId;
                that.createCookie(trackingCookieName, trackingId, 180);
            }

            // ... some code omitted

        if (window.personalizationManager) {
            window.personalizationManager.addPersonalizedContentLoaded(function () {
                logVisit(pageNodeId, randomId);
            });
        } else {
            logVisit(pageNodeId, randomId);
        }
    }

And the randomId parameter is really a Guid.NewGuid() assigned from the server.
