Google Analytics cookies

Overview
Google Analytics is a simple, easy-to-use tool that helps website owners measure how users interact with website content. When you, as a user, navigate between web pages, Google Analytics provides website owners JavaScript tags to record information about the page you have 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.
