For example, [Google Analytics](https://analytics.google.com/analytics/academy/) uses a set of cookies to collect information and report site usage statistics without personally identifying individual visitors to Google. '\_ga', the main cookie used by Google Analytics, enables a service to distinguish one visitor from another and lasts for 2 years. Any site that implements Google Analytics, including Google services, uses the '\_ga' cookie. Each '\_ga' cookie is unique to the specific property, so it cannot be used to track a given user or browser across unrelated websites.
