Lifecycle of an entrepreneur

Entrepreneurs often approach us with a common challenge – they have the passion and determination to set up and grow their own business, but are unsure of what financial matters they need to consider when professionalising the business to maximise value.

We regularly add to this series, to support entrepreneurs throughout their journey to success. 

Our first round of insights (in the related links below) provided entrepreneurs with the basics of how to start up and grow a business. Now, we focus on how successful entrepreneurs can professionalise their business to take them beyond a £1 million EBITDA and into the future.

collect

Used to send data to Google Analytics about the visitor’s device and behaviour. Tracks the visitor across devices and marketing channels.
_hjClosedSurveyInvites
Expires: 1 year
Hotjar cookie that is set once a visitor interacts with a Survey invitation modal pop-up. It is used to ensure that the same invite does not reappear if it has already been shown.
_hjDonePolls
Expires: 1 year
Hotjar cookie that is set once a visitor completes a poll using the Feedback Poll widget. It is used to ensure that the same poll does not reappear if it has already been filled in.
_hjMinimizedPolls
Expires: 1 year
Hotjar cookie that is set once a visitor minimised a Feedback Poll widget. It is used to ensure that the widget stays minimised when the visitor navigates through your site.
_hjIncludedInSample
Expires: 1 year
Hotjar cookie that is set to let Hotjar know whether that visitor is included in the sample which is used to generate Funnels.
_hjShownFeedbackMessage
Expires: 1 year
Hotjar cookie that is set when a visitor minimised or completes Incoming Feedback. This is done so that the Incoming Feedback will load as minimised immediately if the visitor navigates to another page where it is set to show.
_hjid
Expires: 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.
_hjRecordingLastActivity
Expires: Session
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).
_hjTLDTest
Expires: 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
Expires: 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.
_hjCachedUserAttributes
Expires: 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.
_hjLocalStorageTest
Expires: 100ms
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.
_hjIncludedInSample
Expires: Session
Session cookie which is destroyed when user leaves the Hotjar site.
_gcl_au
Expires: 3 months
Used by Google AdSense for experimenting with advertisement efficiency across websites using their services.
ads/ga-audiences
