# QueryStringCacheKeys


This field is deprecated. We recommend that you use a cache policy or an origin request policy instead of this field.

If you want to include query strings in the cache key, use `QueryStringsConfig` in a cache policy. See `CachePolicy`.

If you want to send query strings to the origin but not include them in the cache key, use `QueryStringsConfig` in an origin request policy. See `OriginRequestPolicy`.
