__hssrcnon-necessarySessionWhenever HubSpot changes the session cookie, this cookie is also set to determine if the visitor has restarted their browser. If this cookie does not exist when HubSpot manages cookies, it is considered a new session. It contains the value “1” when present.
__hstcnon-necessary13 monthsThe main cookie for tracking visitors. It contains the domain, utk, initial timestamp (first visit), last timestamp (last visit), current timestamp (this visit), and session number (increments for each subsequent session).

_gatnon-necessary1 minuteThis cookie is installed by Google Universal Analytics to throttle the request rate to limit the collection of data on high traffic sites.
_gidnon-necessary1 dayThis cookie is installed by Google Analytics. The cookie is used to store information of how visitors use a website and helps in creating an analytics report of how the website is doing. The data collected includes the number of visitors, the source where they have come from, and the pages visited in an anonymous form.
_hjAbsoluteSessionInProgressnon-necessary30 minutesThis cookie is used to detect the first pageview session of a user. This is a True/False flag set by the cookie.
_hjCachedUserAttributesnon-necessarySessionThis cookie stores User Attributes which are sent through the Hotjar Identify API, whenever the user is not in the sample. These attributes will only be saved if the user interacts with a Hotjar Feedback tool.
_hjClosedSurveyInvitesnon-necessary1 yearHotjar cookie that is set once a visitor interacts with an External Link Survey invitation modal. It is used to ensure that the same invite does not reappear if it has already been shown.
_hjDonePollsnon-necessary1 yearHotjar cookie that is set once a visitor completes a survey using the On-site Survey widget. It is used to ensure that the same survey does not reappear if it has already been filled in.
_hjidnon-necessary1 yearHotjar cookie that is set when the customer first lands on a page with the Hotjar script. It is used to persist the Hotjar User ID, unique to that site on the browser. This ensures that behavior in subsequent visits to the same site will be attributed to the same user ID.
_hjIncludedInPageviewSamplenecessary30 minutesThis cookie is set to let Hotjar know whether that visitor is included in the data sampling defined by your site’s pageview limit.
_hjIncludedInSessionSamplenon-necessary30 minutesThis cookie is set to let Hotjar know whether that visitor is included in the data sampling defined by your site’s daily session limit.

_hjMinimizedPollsnon-necessary1 yearHotjar cookie that is set once a visitor minimizes an On-site Survey widget. It is used to ensure that the widget stays minimized when the visitor navigates through your site.
_hjRecordingLastActivitynon-necessarySessionThis should be found in Session storage (as opposed to cookies). This gets updated when a visitor recording starts and when data is sent through the WebSocket (the visitor performs an action that Hotjar records).
_hjShownFeedbackMessagenon-necessary1 yearHotjar cookie that is set when a visitor minimizes or completes Incoming Feedback. This is done so that the Incoming Feedback will load as minimized immediately if the visitor navigates to another page where it is set to show.
_hjTLDTestnon-necessarySessionWhen the Hotjar script executes we try to determine the most generic cookie path we should use, instead of the page hostname. This is done so that cookies can be shared across subdomains (where applicable). To determine this, we try to store the _hjTLDTest cookie for different URL substring alternatives until it fails. After this check, the cookie is removed.
_hjUserAttributesHashnon-necessarySessionUser Attributes sent through the Hotjar Identify API are cached for the duration of the session in order to know when an attribute has changed and needs to be updated.
