| __utma | persistent | 2 years | This cookie is typically written to the browser upon the first visit. If the cookie has been deleted by the browser operator, and the browser subsequently visits strategy-business.com, a new __utma cookie is written with a different unique ID. In most cases, this cookie is used to determine unique visitors to strategy-business.com, 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 the accessibility of the cookie as an extra security measure. |
| __utmb | persistent | 30 minutes | This cookie is typically written to the browser upon the first visit.

| __utmc | persistent | 30 minutes | Historically, this cookie operated in conjunction with the __utmb cookie to determine whether or not to establish a new session for the user. For backward compatibility purposes with sites still using the urchin.js tracking 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 the ga.js tracking code, you should not interpret the existence of this cookie in relation to a new or expired session. |
| __utmv | persistent | 2 years | This cookie is not normally present in a default configuration of the tracking code. The __utmvcookie passes the information provided via the _setVar() method, which you use to create a custom user segment. This string is then passed to the Analytics servers in the GIF request URL via the utmcc parameter. This cookie is written only if you have added the¬_setVar() method for the tracking code on your website page. |
| __utmz | persistent | 6 months | This cookie stores the type of referral used by the visitor to reach strategy-business.com, whether via a direct method, a referring link, a website search, or a campaign such as an ad or an email link.

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third party advertisers. If you opt out of storing this type of cookies you won’t see any less ads, but they might just not be as relevant.
