Input: [Cookie] Google Analytics [Purpose] This cookie is typically written to the browser upon the first visit to your site from that web browser. If the cookie has been deleted by the browser operator, and the browser subsequently visits your site, a new __utma cookie is written with a different unique ID. This cookie is used to determine unique visitors to your site 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 accessibility of the cookie as an extra security measure. [More Information] Find out more [Name]

Input: [Cookie] Google Analytics [Purpose] This cookie is used to establish and continue a user session with your site. When a user views a page on your site, the Google Analytics code attempts to update this cookie. If it does not find the cookie, a new one is written and a new session is established. Each time a user visits a different page on your site, this cookie is updated to expire in 30 minutes, thus continuing a single session for as long as user activity continues within 30-minute intervals.

Input: [Cookie] Google Analytics [Purpose] This cookie is typically written to the browser upon the first visit.

In most cases, this cookie is used to determine unique visitors to pwc.com/jp 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 accessibility of the cookie as an extra security measure. [Type] First Party Persistent [Duration] 2 years from set/update. [Name]

Output: __utma


Input: [Cookie] Google Analytics [Purpose] This cookie is used to establish and continue a user session with pwc.com/jp.

Each time a user visits a different page on pwc.com/jp; this cookie is updated to expire in 30 minutes, thus continuing a single session for as long as user activity continues within 30-minute intervals.

Output: __utmv
