Google Analytics​

__utmb and __utmc​

The B and C cookies work 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.

__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 if it doesn't, it expires.
