| __utmb and __utmc | The __utmb and __utmc cookies are siblings; working together to calculate how long a visit takes. __utmb takes a timestamp of the exact moment in time when a visitor enters a site, while __utmc takes a timestamp of the exact moment in time when a visitor leaves a site. __utmb expires at the end of the session. __utmc has no way of knowing when a user closes their browser or leaves a website, so it waits 30 minutes for another pageview to happen, and if it doesn't, it expires. | __utmb: Session __utmc: 30 minutes after last pageview | sikkensvr.com |
| __utmv | If you are making use of the user-defined report in Google Analytics, and have coded something on your site for some custom segmentation, the __utmv cookie gets set on the person's computer, so that Google Analytics knows how to classify that visitor. | 2 years | sikkensvr.com |
