_gat	non-necessary	1 minute	This cookie is installed by Google Universal Analytics to throttle the request rate to limit the collection of data on high traffic sites.
_gid	non-necessary	1 day	This 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.
_hjAbsoluteSessionInProgress	non-necessary	30 minutes	This cookie is used to detect the first pageview session of a user. This is a True/False flag set by the cookie.
_hjCachedUserAttributes	non-necessary	Session	This 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.
_hjClosedSurveyInvites	non-necessary	1 year	Hotjar 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.
_hjDonePolls	non-necessary	1 year	Hotjar 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.
_hjid	non-necessary	1 year	Hotjar 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.

_hjIncludedInSessionSample	non-necessary	30 minutes	This cookie is set to let Hotjar know whether that visitor is included in the data sampling defined by your site’s daily session limit.

_hjShownFeedbackMessage	non-necessary	1 year	Hotjar 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.
_hjTLDTest	non-necessary	Session	When 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.
_hjUserAttributesHash	non-necessary	Session	User 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.
