Performance cookies
These cookies are used to collect statistical information about visitors of the website and the pages they view.

About the Google Analytics Cookies
Google Analytics sets first party cookies via a piece of JavaScript code which must be added to every page that site owners want to track. It sets four cookies automatically, and a fifth via opt-in (this relates to sharing information about your traffic with Google).
__utma Cookie — A persistent cookie – remains on a computer, unless it expires or the cookie cache is cleared. It tracks visitors. Metrics associated with the Google __utma cookie include: first visit (unique visit), last visit (returning visit).
__utmb Cookie & __utmc Cookie — These cookies work in tandem to calculate visit length. __utmb demarks the exact arrival time; __utmc registers the exit time of the user. __utmb counts entrance visits and is a session cookie; __utmc expires after 30 minutes of inactivity.
__utmz Cookie — Monitors the HTTP Referrer and notes where a visitor arrived from (search engine, direct, social, unaccounted). It also registers what keyword generated the visit plus geolocation data. This cookie lasts six months.
__utmv Cookie — A persistent cookie used for segmentation and data experimentation. It works hand in hand with the __utmz cookie to improve targeting capabilities.
