This site uses the following five cookies in support of the use of Google Analytics:

​

Essentially these cookies are used to collect information about how visitors use this site. The cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the site, where visitors to the site have come from, the pages they have visited, and the duration of a visit.

 

_utma This cookie is used to identify unique visitors. 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. This cookie is set to expire 2 years after each update.

 

_utmb and _utmc These cookies are used to determine sessions. The first one expires 30 minutes after inactivity and the second one expires after the browser is closed. Together they are able to identify unique sessions including session length. When you close your browser but come back within 30 minutes, google analytics knows to record a new session. 

 

_utmt This session cookie is used to ‘throttle’ the request rate to the site.

 

_utmz This cookie holds information about the way the site visitor entered the website including keeping track of where the visitor came from, what search engine was used, what link was clicked on, and what keyword was used. Things like keywords used in Google, campaigns like AdWords or affiliate marketing are all saved here. It’s set for six months, so visits can be attributed to a certain campaign or source for up to six months. It is overridden each time the user enters the site from a new source.
