What date format is 1376172000?

On a site I visit regularly, I noticed that, when I select a particular date (11 august 2013 in this case), ?date=1376172000 is added to the url in the address bar.

What format or standard is this date?

It is a UNIX Time Stamp
you can Convert this to human readable format

<?php
$timestamp=$_GET['date']; // which gives 1376172000
echo gmdate("Y-m-d\ H:i:s", $timestamp);
?>

Most likely "units from epoch" e.g. in unix, seconds since 00:00 GMT 01 Jan 1970. Other systems / sites could use different units and a different starting time (epoch)
