Third Party cookies
We use a Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by
Google, in order to find out how visitors interact with the website
so we can improve it. Information is collected anonymously and
website trends are reported with identifying individual
visitors.
| Cookie name |
Cookie purpose |
| __utma |
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. |
| __utmb and __utmc |
The B and C cookies work 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.
__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.
|
| __utmz |
__utmz keeps track of where the visitor came from, what search
engine was used, what link was clicked on, what keyword was used,
and where they were in the world when the website was
accessed. |
