This cookie is set by Hotjar. This cookie is set when the customer first lands on a page with the Hotjar script. It is used to persist the random user ID, unique to that website on the browser. This ensures that behaviour in subsequent visits to the same website will be attributed to the same user ID. This cookie expires after 1 year.

| _hjTLDTest
|
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. This cookie expires after the session.
