1. Strictly necessary cookies

   Cookie Name	Type	Purpose
   Log in_SessionId	Session	This cookie is required to determine the Log in session that is in use. These are temporary cookies used in our website which helps us identify users and track their activity on specific pages to provide better user experiences.

2. Cookies which can improve the website and user experience

   Cookie Name	Type	Purpose
   __utma	Persistent	This cookie keeps track of the number of times a visitor has been to the site pertaining to the cookie, the time of their first visit, and when their last visit occurred. Google Analytics uses the information from this cookie for various calculations, such as days and visits to purchase.
   __utmb& __utmc	Persistent	The B and C cookies are brothers, working together to calculate how long a visit takes. __utmb takes a timestamp of the exact moment in time when a visitor enters a site while __utmc takes a timestamp of the exact moment in time when a visitor leaves a site. __utmb expires at the end of the session. __utmc waits 30 minutes, and then it expires. The __utmc has no way of knowing when a user closes their browser or leaves a website, so it waits 30 minutes for another page view to happen, and that does not occur, it expires.
   __utmx& __utmxx	Persistent	This cookie is used by Website Optimiser and only sets when the Website Optimiser tracking code is installed and correctly configured for your webpages. When the optimiser script executes, this cookie stores the variation to which the visitor is assigned for each experiment which results in the the visitor having a consistent experience on the website.
   __utmz	Persistent	__utmz keeps track of where the visitor came from, what search engine was used, what links were followed, what keywords were used, and geolocation. It expires in 6 months. This cookie is how Google Analytics knows to whom and to what source / medium / keyword to assign the credit for a Goal Conversion or an Ecommerce Transaction. The __utmz cookie also allows its length to be edited with a customization to the Google Analytics Tracking code.
