Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are used to establish a connection between clients (visitors) and servers, ensure security, and improve visitors' user experience.

Analytical cookies

Google Analytics [https://analytics.google.com] is a tool which allows website owners to access various statistical reports and metrics of user interaction with the content on the site. As a user accesses different content on the site, Google Analytics enables website owners to use JavaScript libraries that record various data, such as the page address that the user is accessing, how much time they spend on the page, and the like. These libraries use HTTP cookies to "remember" what kind of interaction the user had on previous pages and thus create a kind of activity map during the visit. This type of activity is anonymous and limited to our pages.

The gtag.js library, on which Google Analytics relies, uses cookies for the following purposes:

  • Distinguishing individual visitors
  • Distinguishing sessions at the individual visitor level
Cookie name Expires / Max-age Cookie description
 _ga 2 years Used to distinguish among individual visitors (does not collect any personal data)
 _ga_<container-id> 2 years Used to persist session state. In other words, this cookie is uses to anonymously track a user session and to achieve statistical accuracy – when the same visitor returns to the website again after a certain period of time, Google Analytics uses this cookie to "recognize" that it is indeed the same visitor who has previously visited the site. GA then simply continues recording interactions of this visitor with the website and stores data accordingly, which improves statistical output.
