_utmb & _utmc |
Google Analytics |
These B and C cookies are brothers, working together to calculate how long a visit takes. __utmb takes a timestamp of the exact moment in time when a visitor enters our website, while __utmc takes a timestamp of the exact moment in time when a visitor leaves our website. __utmb expires at the end of the session. __utmc waits 30 minutes, and then it expires. The __utmc cookie has no way of knowing when a user closes their browser or leaves our website, so it waits 30 minutes for another pageview to happen, and if it doesn’t, it expires. |
