| upsocial.org | __utmb | This is one of the four main cookies set by the Google Analytics service, which allows website owners to track visitor behaviour and measure website performance. This cookie identifies new sessions and visits and expires after 30 minutes. The cookie is updated each time data is sent to Google Analytics.

In these earlier versions, it was used in conjunction with the __utmb cookie to identify new sessions/visits from returning visitors. When used by Google Analytics, it is always a session cookie that is destroyed when the user closes their browser. If it is considered a persistent cookie, it is likely to be a different technology that sets the cookie. | Session | |
