By default it is set to expire after 2 years, although this is customisable by website owners.

__utmxx, __utmx

This cookie is associated with Google Website Optimizer, a tool designed to help site owners improve their wbesites.

This helps site owners to detemine which version of a page performs better, and therefore helps to improve the website.

__utmc

This is one of the four main cookies set by the Google Analytics service which enables website owners to track visitor behaviour and measure site performance. It is not used in most sites but is set to enable interoperability with the older version of Google Analytics code known as Urchin. In this older versions this was used in combination with the __utmb cookie to identify new sessions/visits for returning visitors. When used by Google Analytics this is always a Session cookie which is destroyed when the user closes their browser. Where it is seen as a Persistent cookie it is therefore likely to be a different technology setting the cookie.

_hjid
