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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
