This is done via GoSquared, a third-party service.

What are ‘cookies’ and what do they do?
Cookies are very small files of data which are stored on a user’s computer. They are not executable pieces of code and cannot be used to infect a computer with malware or a virus.
Cookies are a practical and convenient mechanism for conveying information from one session to another; so practical and convenient that over 92% of websites currently use cookies. For example, a user’s viewing preferences might be stored in a persistent cookie so that when they revisit the website they don’t have to re-enter their preferences.
In other words, cookies are how, for example, Amazon ‘remembers’ you when you revisit the site.
