| OptanonAlertBoxClosed | This cookie is set by websites using certain versions of the cookie law compliance solution from OneTrust. It is set after visitors have seen a cookie information notice and in some cases only when they actively close the notice down. It enables the website not to show the message more than once to a user. The cookie has a one year lifespan and contains no personal information. | 1 year |

Performance Cookies
These Cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these types of Cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

First Party
| Cookie Name | Description | Expiry |
| _hjSession_1953441 | A cookie that holds the current session data. This ensues that subsequent requests within the session window will be attributed to the same Hotjar session. | Session |
| _hjCookieTest | Checks to see if the Hotjar Tracking Code can use cookies. If it can, a value of 1 is set. | Session |
| _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. | Session |
| _hjSessionUser_1953441 | Hotjar cookie that is set when a user 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. | 1 year |
