Google Analytics.
Google Analytics is Google’s analytics tool that helps website and app owners to understand how their visitors engage with their properties. It may use a set of cookies to collect information and report website usage statistics without personally identifying individual visitors to Google. The main cookie used by Google Analytics is the ‘__ga’ cookie. In addition to reporting website usage statistics, Google Analytics can also be used, together with some of the advertising cookies described above, to help show more relevant ads on Google properties (like Google Search) and across the web.
Google Analytics Cookie Types.
| COOKIE name | COOKIE Description |
| __utma | This is the main way Google Analytics tracks unique visitors. Stored in this cookie is a unique visitor ID, the date and time of their first visit, the time their current visit started and the total number of visits they have made. The __utma cookie is a persistent cookie that expires in two years. With each new visit, the expiration date is refreshed. The expiration time can be customized in the tracking code. Our code generator tool can automatically customize that code. |
| __utmb | This is how Google Analytics decides whether a visit has timed out and also how deep a visit has gotten. It stores the number of page views in the current visit and the start time of the visitor's current visit. The __utmb cookie is a persistent cookie that expires in 30 minutes. Each page view refreshes it. The expiration time can be customized for each site (or page). Our code generator tool can automatically customize that code. |
| __utmc | The __utmc cookie is the only session cookie used by Google Analytics. Its only purpose is to register that the visit ended if the browser gets closed. |
| __utmz | This is the traffic source cookie. It contains all of the traffic source information for the current visit, if it was different from the previous visit. If no traffic source information can be found for the current visit, the cookie is not changed. This is the way that Google Analytics attributes visit information, including conversions and transactions to a traffic source. It does not contain historical information for previous sources. This is a persistent cookie with a catch: it expires in six months and is only refreshed when the traffic source changes. Every other cookie is refreshed with each page view. The impact of this is that a banner ad that brings a visitor to your site will get the credit for all future direct visits for up to six months. After six months, if there have not been visits from any other source, the cookie will expire and start to attribute information to direct visits. The expiration window can be customized in the tracking code. The code generator tool does this automatically. |
| __utmv | This is the user-defined variable cookie. Developers can segment visitors by custom variables by calling a native JavaScript method. This new variable gets stored in a persistent cookie which expires in two years. |
Sending it to Google Analytics.
Finally, all of this cookie information is sent to Google Analytics via the __utm.gif request that it makes with each page view. When Google Analytics processes data, it relies on this cookie information (among other pieces of data in the query string) to populate your reports.
