Hot Jar	_hjShownFeedbackMessage	365 days	Performance	This cookie is set when a visitor minimizes or completes Incoming Feedback. This is done so that the Incoming Feedback will load as minimized immediately if they navigate to another page where it is set to show.
Hot Jar	_hjid	365 days	Performance	Hotjar cookie. This cookie is set when the customer first lands on a page with the Hotjar script.

Hot Jar	hjTLDTest	Session	Performance	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.
Hot Jar	_hjUserAttributesHash	Session	Performance	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.
Hot Jar	_hjCachedUserAttributes	Session	Performance	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.
Hot Jar	_hjLocalStorageTest	N/A	Performance	This cookie is used to check if the Hotjar Tracking Script can use local storage. If it can, a value of 1 is set in this cookie. The data stored in_hjLocalStorageTest has no expiration time, but it is deleted immediately after creating it so the expected storage time is under 100ms.
Hot Jar	_hjAbsoluteSessionInProgress	30 mins	Performance	The cookie is set so Hotjar can track the beginning of the user's journey for a total session count. It does not contain any identifiable information.
