These cookies are used to collect information about how visitors use the website. We use the information to compile reports and to help us improve the site.

| Google Analytics | __utma | This cookie is typically written to the browser upon your first visit to the site from that web browser. If the cookie has been deleted and the browser subsequently visits the site, a new __utma cookie is written with a different unique ID. This cookie is used to determine unique visitors to the site and it is updated with each page view. Additionally, this cookie is provided with a unique ID that Google Analytics uses to ensure both the validity and accessibility of the cookie as an extra security measure. | After 24 months. | ||
| Google Analytics | __utmb | This cookie is used to establish and continue a user session with the site. When a user views a page on the site, the Google Analytics code attempts to update this cookie. If it does not find the cookie, a new one is written and a new session is established. Each time a user visits a different page on the site, this cookie is updated to expire in 30 minutes, thus continuing a single session for as long as user activity continues within 30-minute intervals. | After 30 minutes. | ||
| Google Analytics | __utmc | This cookie is no longer used by Google Analytics. Historically, this cookie operated in conjunction with the __utmb cookie to determine whether or not to establish a new session for the user. For backwards compatibility purposes, this cookie is still written and will expire when the user exits the browser. | When you close your web browser. | ||
| Google Analytics | __utmz | This cookie stores the type of referral used to reach the site, whether via a direct method, a referring link, a website search, or a campaign such as an ad or an email link. It is used to calculate search engine traffic, ad campaigns and page navigation within the site. The cookie is updated with each page view to the site. | After 6 months. | ||
| Google Analytics | __utmv | This cookie stores the type user that you are when you access the site. For example, whether you are a ‘Guest’, a ‘Subscriber’, or a ‘Member’. This allows us to see how each type of user makes use of the site. | After 24 months. |
