What the _hjTLDTest cookie does
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.

Functional cookies remember a choice the visitor made, such as a language, a region or a layout preference. They are not essential, so visitors in the EU must be able to decline them, and a site should not set them before consent.
