  • _ga (expires in 2 years): used to distinguish users.

  • _gat (expires in 10 minutes): used to throttle request rate.

  • __utmat (expires in 2 years): distinguishes users and sessions. Created when the JavaScript library executes and no existing __utma cookies exist. Updated each time data is sent to Google Analytics.

  • __utmt (expires in 10 minutes): used to throttle request rate.

  • __utmb (expires in 30 minutes): determines new sessions/visits. Created when the JavaScript library executes and no existing __utmb cookies exist. Updated each time data is sent to Google Analytics.

  • __utmc (expires at the end of the browser session): not used in ga.js but maintained for compatibility with older systems.

  • __utmz (expires in 6 months): stores the traffic source or campaign that explains how a user reached the site. Updated whenever data is sent to Google Analytics.

Important Notes on Protecting Your Data

Please remain cautious about cybercrime and safeguard your personal information online, particularly financial details. Avoid sending unsecure personal data over the internet. Where possible, use encryption or the secure tools we provide.

Do not respond to emails requesting money. Never make payments solely based on an email request. Always verify payment requests by calling the company directly, ensuring you use a trusted phone number (not one provided in the suspicious email). If you receive a phone call requesting payment, confirm the caller’s legitimacy before proceeding. HL Partnership Limited cannot take responsibility if funds are mistakenly transferred to a fraudster.
