Analytics

These cookies allow us to count page visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site, using a service provided by Google Analytics.

__utma Cookie
A persistent cookie - remains on a computer, unless it expires or the cookie cache is cleared. This cookie keeps track of the number of times you have been to the site, when your first visit was, and when their last visit occurred

__utmb Cookie & __utmc Cookies
These cookies work in tandem to calculate visit length. Google __utmb cookie demarks the exact arrival time, then Google __utmc registers the precise exit time.
__utmb is a session cookie, and expires at the end of the session, e.g. when you leave the page. A timestamp of 30 minutes must pass before Google cookie __utmc expires. This is because __utmc cannot tell if a browser or website session ends. Therefore, if no new page view is recorded in 30 minutes the cookie is expired.

  __utmz Cookie
Keeps track of where you came from, what search engine you used, what link was clicked on, what keyword you used, and where in the world you are when you accessed the website
