A cookie is a parcel of text sent back and forth between a web browser and the server it accesses to collect data about a given browser, along with the information requested and sent by the browser’s operator (the visitor). Google Analytics is a widely-used web analytics service provided by Google, Inc to generate statistics about visitors to websites.

If you delete the cookie and you subsequently visit our Site a new _utma cookie is written with a different unique ID. This cookie is used to determine unique visitors to our Site and it is updated with each page view.
