Google Analytics cookies
Cookies used for analytics help collect data to better understand how users interact with a particular service. This information enables services to provide higher-quality content and features that improve the user experience.
Some cookies help website owners better understand how users interact with their properties.

It is used by all websites that use Google Analytics. This is also the case for certain Google services.
