What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that are sent to and stored in your computer by the websites you visit. Cookies are stored in your browser’s file directory. Next time you visit the site, your browser will read the cookie and relay the information back to the website or element that originally set the cookie.

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers downloaded on to your computer when you access certain websites. Like virtual door keys, cookies unlock a computer’s memory and allow a website to recognize users when they return to a site by opening doors to different content or services. Like a key, a cookie itself does not contain information, but when it is read by a browser it can help a website improve the service delivered.

To learn more about these technologies and how they work, please see e.g. allaboutcookies.org.

Cookie types used by Agárdi

There are essentially two types of cookies – first-party and third-party. From a technical perspective, there is no real difference between the two types of cookies; they both contain the same pieces of information and can perform the same functions.

However, the real difference between the types of cookies has to do with how they are created and subsequently used, which often depends on the context. There are different benefits of creating first- vs third-party cookies.

  1. First party cookies

Stored by the domain (website) you are visiting directly (e.g. www. Agardi.us). They allow website owners to collect analytics data, remember language settings, and perform other useful functions that help provide a good user experience.

These types of cookies help provide a better user experience and keep the session open. This basically means the browser is able to remember key pieces of information, such as users’ username and passwords, and language preferences.

The cookie that the specific site stores will be used to remember information about the user and their behavior. With first-party cookies, it is up to the website to decide what information to collect and store.

The limitation of first-party cookies is that they can be read only when the user is visiting the domain of the website/publisher. This makes them useless for advertising purposes (e.g. retargeting) on other websites.

  1. Third party cookies

They are used for cross-site tracking, retargeting and ad-serving, and are providers of advertising, retargeting, analytics and tracking services.

Third-party cookies are those created by domains other than the one the user is visiting at the time and are mainly used for tracking and online-advertising purposes. They also allow website owners to provide certain services, such as live chats.

In addition to a first-party cookie being created by the host site (e.g. www. Agardi.us), a third-party cookie is also created by another website. The reason for a third-party cookie is because the URL doesn’t match the domain.

Classification of cookies

  1. Necessary cookies

Necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

  1. Preference cookies

Preference cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, like your preferred language or the region that you are in.

  1. Statistic cookies

Statistic cookies help website owners to understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously.

  1. Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third- party advertisers.

_ga_TH1XKSW7TY .agardi.us Other No description 2 years
_hjClosedSurveyInvites .agardi.us Boolean true/false 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. 365 days
_hjDonePolls .agardi.us Boolean true/false 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. 365 days
_hjMinimizedPolls .agardi.us Boolean true/false Hotjar 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. 365 days
_hjShownFeedbackMessage .agardi.us Boolean true/false 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. 365 days
_hjSessionTooLarge .agardi.us Boolean true/false Causes Hotjar to stop collecting data if a session becomes too large. This is determined automatically by a signal from the WebSocket server if the session size exceeds the limit. Session
_hjid .agardi.us UUID 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. 365 days
_hjRecordingLastActivity .agardi.us Numerical Value (Timestamp) This 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). Session
_hjTLDTest .agardi.us Boolean true/false 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. Session
_hjUserAttributesHash .agardi.us Hash 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. Session
_hjCachedUserAttributes .agardi.us JSON 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. Session
_hjLocalStorageTest .agardi.us Boolean true/false 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 almost immediately after it is created. Under 100ms
_hjIncludedInPageviewSample .agardi.us Boolean true/false This cookie is set to let Hotjar know whether that visitor is included in the data sampling defined by your site’s pageview limit. 30 minutes

_hjFirstSeen .agardi.us Boolean true/false This is set to identify a new user’s first session. It stores a true/false value, indicating whether this was the first time Hotjar saw this user. It is used by Recording filters to identify new user sessions. Session
_hjViewportId .agardi.us UUID This stores information about the user viewport such as size and dimensions. Session
_hjRecordingEnabled .agardi.us Boolean true/false This is added when a Recording starts and is read when the recording module is initialized to see if the user is already in a recording in a particular session. Session
