ANALYTICS COOKIES

 

These cookies enable us to analyze the number of visitors to our website and to see how users navigate around the website.  

​

Cookie                                           Purpose

​

utma                                               This cookie is what’s called a “persistent” cookie, as in, it never expires. 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.

​

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

utmc                                               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.

​

utmt                                                This cookie is set by Google Analytics. According to their documentation it is used to throttle the request rate for the service - limiting the

                                                       collection of data on high traffic sites. It expires after 10 minutes.

​

utmz                                               utmz keeps track of where the visitor came from, what search engine they used, what link they clicked on, what keyword they used, and

                                                       where they were in the world when they 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.
