Anonymous cookies

CMR Surgical collects the following anonymous cookies for tracking purposes.
__utma
This cookie is typically written to the browser upon the first visit to your site from that web browser. If the cookie has been deleted by the browser operator, and the browser subsequently visits your site, a new__utma cookie is written with a different unique ID. This cookie is used to determine unique visitors to your site and it is updated with each page view. Additionally, this cookie is provided with a unique ID that Google Analytics uses to ensure both the validity and accessibility of the cookie as an extra security measure. Expiration: 2 years from set/update.
__utmb

This cookie is used to establish and continue a user session with your site. When a user views a page on your site, the Google Analytics code attempts to update this cookie. If it does not find the cookie, a new one is written and a new session is established. Each time a user visits a different page on your site, this cookie is updated to expire in 30 minutes, thus continuing a single session for as long as user activity continues within 30-minute intervals. This cookie expires when a user pauses on a page on your site for longer than 30 minutes. You can modify the default length of a user session with the _setSessionCookieTimeout() method. Expiration: 30 minutes from set/update.

__utmc
This cookie is no longer used by thega.jstracking code to determine session status. Historically, this cookie operated in conjunction with the__utmbcookie to determine whether or not to establish a new session for the user. For backwards compatibility purposes with sites still using theurchin.jstracking code, this cookie will continue to be written and will expire when the user exits the browser. However, if you are debugging your site tracking and you use thega.jstracking code, you should not interpret the existence of this cookie in relation to a new or expired session. Expiration: not set.
