Google Analytics
This is a web analytics service provided by Google Inc which uses cookies to show us how visitors found and explored our site, and how we can enhance their experience. It provides us with information about the behaviour of our visitors (e.g. how long they stayed on the site, the average number of pages viewed) and also tells us how many visitors we have had.
GetGround JWT authentication

When the server delivers the ad content, it also sends a cookie. If the browser accepts the cookie, it is stored on the browser.
