General description
Google Analytics is a simple, easy-to-use tool that helps website owners measure how users interact with website content. As a user navigates between web pages, Google Analytics provides website owners JavaScript tags (libraries) to record information about the page a user has seen, for example the URL of the page. The Google Analytics JavaScript libraries use HTTP cookies to "remember" what a user has done on previous pages/interactions with the website.
Important: Google Analytics does not compile personal information on the website users.
Consult the document on Google Analytics privacy for further information on the matter.
Google Analytics allows two JavaScript (tags) libraries to measure the use of the website: analytics.js and ga.js. The following sections describe how each of these libraries use cookies.
analytics.js: use of cookies
The analytics.js JavaScript library is part of Universal Analytics and uses one single first-party cookie containing an anonymous identifier to differentiate the users.
By default, this library sets cookies on the upper level domain, excluding the first point, and configures the path of the cookie at root level (/).
Note: For the library analytics.js it is not necessary to configure cookies to transmit data to Google Analytics.
This library sets the following cookies:
Cookie Name | Expiration | Time Description |
_ga | 2 years | Used to distinguish users. |
Customisation
Read the domains and cookies developer guide for more information on the ways these default settings can be customised.
Read the Security and privacy in Universal Analytics document for more information about Universal Analytics and cookies.
ga.js: use of cookies
The ga.js JavaScript library uses first-party cookies to:
• determine which domain to measure,
• distinguish unique users,
• remember the number and time of previous visits,
• remember traffic source information,
• determine the start and end of a session,
• remember the value of visitor-level custom variables.
By default, this library sets cookies on the domain specified in the document.host browser property and sets the cookie path to the root level (/).
This library sets the following cookies:
Cookie name | Default Expiration | Time Description |
__utma | Two years from set/update | Used to distinguish users and sessions. The cookie is created when the javascript library executes and no there are no existing __utma cookies. The cookie is updated every time data is sent to Google Analytics. |
__utmb | 30 mins from set/update | Used to determine new sessions/visits. The cookie is created when the javascript library executes and there are no existing cookies. __utmb. The cookie is updated every time data is sent to Google Analytics. |
__utmc | End of browser session | Not used in ga.js. Set for interoperability with urchin.js. Historically, this cookie operated in conjunction with the __utmb cookie to determine whether the user was in a new session/visit. |
__utmz | Six months years from set/update | Stores the traffic source or campaign that explains how the user reached your site. The cookie is created when the javascript library executes and is updated every time data is sent to Google Analytics. |
__utmv | Two years from set/update | Used to store visitor-level custom variable data. This cookie is created when a developer uses the method _setCustomVar with a visitor level custom variable. This cookie was also used for the deprecated method _setVar obsoleto. The cookie is updated every time data is sent to Google Analytics. |
Customisation
• _setDomainName: sets the domain to which all cookies will be set.
• _setCookiePath: sets the path to which all cookies will be set.
• _setVisitorCookieTimeout: sets the Google Analytics visitor cookie expiration in milliseconds.
• _setSessionCookieTimeout: sets the new session cookie timeout in milliseconds.
• _setCampaignCookieTimeout: sets the campaign cookie expiration time in milliseconds.
Read the Tracking Multiple Domains guide to learn how to configure ga.js to measure user interaction across domains.
urchin.js: use of cookies
Historically, Google Analytics provided a JavaScript measurement library named urchin.js. When the newer ga.js library launched, developers were encouraged to migrate to the new library. For sites that have not completed the migration, urchin.js sets cookies identically to what is set in ga.js. Read the ga.js cookie usage above for more details.
