Third-party cookies
‍
Cookies can be used to track internet activity after the user has left a website. These are normally facilitated by organisations external to the website being visited and are generally known as ‘third-party’ cookies. They usually have a long lifetime with several months being quite common. They are ‘harvested’ and ‘refreshed’ whenever the user visits a page where the same or a similar cookie is being used.

‍
_utma is used by Google Analytics to identify first-time site (‘unique’) visitors vs. returning visitors. It expires after two years
‍
_utmc identifies unique visitors vs. returning visitors but expires when you close your browser.
‍
_utmb is used for general visitor tracking and expires after 30 minutes.
‍
_utmz tracks source visits (the origin of the visit). It expires after six months.
‍
Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. For information on how to reject or delete this cookie.
