British Rowing uses cookies to enable users to login to the British Rowing website as well as to provide traffic analytics using Google Analytics.

All British Rowing cookies will have a domain of either www.britishrowing.org or .britishrowing.org 

Google Analytics

__utma Cookie

A persistent cookie that remains on a computer, unless it expires or the cookie cache is cleared. It tracks visitors on the British Rowing website.

__utmb Cookie & __utmc Cookies

These cookies work in tandem to calculate visit length for Google Analytics. Google __utmb cookie demarks the exact arrival time, then Google __utmc registers the precise exit time of the user.

Because __utmb counts entrance visits, it is a session cookie, and expires at the end of the session, e.g. when the user leaves the page. A timestamp of 30 minutes must pass before Google cookie __utmc expires. Given__utmc cannot tell if a browser or website session ends. Therefore, if no new page view is recorded in 30 minutes the cookie is expired.

 __utmz Cookie

Cookie __utmz monitors the HTTP Referrer and notes where a visitor arrived from, with the referrer siloed into type (Search engine (organic or cpc), direct, social and unaccounted). From the HTTP Referrer the   __utmz Cookie also registers, what keyword generated the visit plus geolocation data.

This cookie lasts six months, and enables British Rowing to see the referring links and sites that have led people to the British Rowing website

__utmv Cookie

Google __utmv Cookie lasts "forever". It is a persistant cookie. It is used for segmentation, data experimentation and  the __utmv cookie works hand in hand with the   __utmz cookie to improve cookie targeting capabilities.
