| ASP.NET_Sessionid | When a user browses to the website, a unique session ID will be associated with the user to keep track of any information that is stored for that session. This information is stored on the Web Server (known as storing information in session) and is identified via a GUID. The GUID is stored in the Cookie (known as the ASP.NET_SessionID) and is essential for any ASP.NET website to function correctly. If nothing is put in the session however, no cookie will be sent to the browser so this cookie will only be created when it is needed. | alphapolitismos.gr | HTTP | 20 minutes |
| alphagr@lang | Register's the user's selected language. | alphapolitismos.gr | HTTP | session |
| cookiebar | Registers the user's selection in the cookie box pop up. | alphapolitismos.gr | HTTP | session |

| _gat | Used by Google Analytics to throttle request rate. | google.com | HTTP | 1 day |
| _gid | Registers a unique ID that is used to generate statistical data on how the visitor uses the web site. | google.com | HTTP | 1 day |
| _gcl_au | Used by Google Ad Sense for experimenting with advertisement efficiency across web sites using their services. | google.com | HTTP | 3 months |
| SC_ANALYTICS_GLOBAL_COOKIE | This cookie is used to identify repeat visits from a single user. | alphapolitismos.gr | HTTP | 10 years |
| ads/ga-audiences | Used by Google Ad Words to re-engage visitors that are likely to convert to customers based on the visitor's on line behaviour across web sites. | google.com | pixel | session |
| _hjSessionUser{site_id} | 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. | Hotjar | JSON | 365 days |
| _hjSession{site_id} | 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. | Hotjar | JSON | 30 minutes |
| _hjClosedSurveyInvites | Hotjar cookie that is set once a user 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. | Hotjar | Boolean true/false | 365 days |
| _hjDonePolls | Hotjar cookie that is set once a user 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. | Hotjar | Boolean true/false | 365 days |
| _hjMinimizedPolls | Hotjar cookie that is set once a user minimizes an On-site Survey widget. It is used to ensure that the widget stays minimized when the user navigates through your site. | Hotjar | Boolean true/false | 365 days |
| _hjShownFeedbackMessage | Hotjar cookie that is set when a user minimizes or completes Incoming Feedback. This is done so that the Incoming Feedback will load as minimized immediately if the user navigates to another page where it is set to show. | Hotjar | Boolean true/false | 365 days |
| _hjSessionTooLarge | 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. | Hotjar | Boolean true/false | Session |
| _hjSessionRejected | If present, this cookie will be set to '1' for the duration of a user's session, if Hotjar rejected the session from connecting to our WebSocket due to server overload. This cookie is only applied in extremely rare situations to prevent severe performance issues. | Hotjar | Boolean true/false | Session |
| _hjSessionResumed | A cookie that is set when a session/recording is reconnected to Hotjar servers after a break in connection. | Hotjar | Boolean true/false | Session |
| _hjid | 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 the website on the browser. This ensures that behavior in subsequent visits to the website will be attributed to the same user ID. | Hotjar | UUID | 365 days |
| _hjRecordingLastActivity | This should be found in Session storage (as opposed to cookies). This gets updated when a user recording starts and when data is sent through the WebSocket (the user performs an action that Hotjar records). | Hotjar | Numerical Value (Timestamp) | Session |
| _hjTLDTest | When the Hotjar script executes it tries to determine the most generic cookie path it 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. | Hotjar | Boolean true/false | Session |
| _hjUserAttributesHash | 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. | Hotjar | Hash | Session |
| _hjCachedUserAttributes | This cookie stores User Attributes which are sent through the Hotjar Identify API, whenever the user is not in the sample. Collected attributes will only be saved to Hotjar servers if the user interacts with a Hotjar Feedback tool, but the cookie will be used regardless of whether a Feedback tool is present. | Hotjar | JSON | Session |
| _hjLocalStorageTest | 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. | Hotjar | Boolean true/false | Under 100ms |
| _hjIncludedInPageviewSample | This cookie is set to let Hotjar know whether that user is included in the data sampling defined by the website’s pageview limit. | Hotjar | Boolean true/false | 30 minutes |
| _hjIncludedInSessionSample | This cookie is set to let Hotjar know whether that user is included in the data sampling defined by the website’s daily session limit. | Hotjar | Boolean true/false | 30 minutes |
| _hjAbsoluteSessionInProgress | This cookie is used to detect the first pageview session of a user. This is a True/False flag set by the cookie. | Hotjar | Boolean true/false | 30 Minutes |
| _hjFirstSeen | 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. | Hotjar | Boolean true/false | Session |
| _hjViewportId | This stores information about the user viewport such as size and dimensions. | Hotjar | UUID | Session |
| _hjRecordingEnabled | 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. | Hotjar | Boolean true/false | Session |
| _gaexp | Used to determine a user's inclusion in an experiment and the expiry of experiments a user has been included in. | google.com | Depends on the length of the experiment, but typically 90 days. |
