Google Analytics Cookies

These cookies are used by us to track how our visitors use our website, for example what pages do they spend a lot of time browsing and what pages do they skip and if they skip a certain page how can we improve it.

Name Domain	Purpose	Data Kind	Sessional or Persistent?
__utma	This cookie is what’s called a “persistent” cookie, as in, it never expires (technically, it does expire, but for the sake of explanation, let’s pretend that it never expires, ever). This cookie keeps track of the number of times a visitor has been to the site pertaining to the cookie, when their first visit was, and when their last visit occurred. Google Analytics uses the information from this cookie to calculate things like Days and Visits to purchase.	Unique token	Persistent 1 Year
__utmb	The B and C cookies are brothers, working together to calculate how long a visit takes. __utmb takes a timestamp of the exact moment in time when a visitor enters a site, while __utmc takes a timestamp of the exact moment in time when a visitor leaves a site. __utmb expires at the end of the session. __utmc waits 30 minutes, and then it expires. You see, __utmc has no way of knowing when a user closes their browser or leaves a website, so it waits 30 minutes for another pageview to happen, and if it doesn’t, it expires.	Unique token	Persistent for 30 minutes from the last visit
__utmc	See above explanation.	Unique token	Sessional
__utmz	__utmz keeps track of where the visitor came from, what search engine you used, what link you clicked on, what keyword you used, and where they were in the world when you accessed a website. It expires in 15,768,000 seconds – or, in 6 months. This cookie is how Google Analytics knows to whom and to what source / medium / keyword to assign the credit for a Goal Conversion or an Ecommerce Transaction. __utmz also lets you edit its length with a simple customization to the Google Analytics Tracking code.	Unique token	Persistent for months from the last visit
