Google Analytics uses persistent cookies in conjunction with its own Google code to track data.

Google code: the Google code is called a “page tag”, referred to as the Google Analytics Tracking Code (GATC). It is a hidden snippet of JavaScript code that we add to each page of the site. The Google Analytics’ code is incorporated into each page of our site’s code so that our site serves the cookies, but Google has access to the cookies.

Google cookies - the Google cookies do not collect any personally identifiable information and are only used for the statistical collection of data such as visits and page hits. They store IP addresses but we cannot link those addresses to any individual or path through the website.
