| Cookie | Category | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
ActionSetHistory | Analytics | These are used for supporting certain targeting conditions, such as which website originally referred the site visitor. They are typically set in session storage, but in the event they are unavailable, cookies will be used as a fallback. |
BlurTime | Analytics | These are used for supporting certain targeting conditions, such as which website originally referred the site visitor. They are typically set in session storage, but in the event they are unavailable, cookies will be used as a fallback. |
CPSessID | Analytics | The SISessID and CPSessID cookies are set and used when a Qualtrics user logs into Qualtrics. The value of these cookies is an identifier that is used to retrieve information about a user’s logged-in session in the Website / App Insights Portal. It is important to note that this cookie is only set for users of the Qualtrics product (not your website visitors). |
FocusTime | Analytics | These are used for supporting certain targeting conditions, such as which website originally referred the site visitor. They are typically set in session storage, but in the event they are unavailable, cookies will be used as a fallback. |
PageReferrer | Analytics | These are used for supporting certain targeting conditions, such as which website originally referred the site visitor. They are typically set in session storage, but in the event they are unavailable, cookies will be used as a fallback. |
QSI_CT | Functional | This cookie is used for tracking events. It has a counter of each event and the number of times that event has occurred. For instance, if there are 2 different events that you are tracking. |
QSI_DATA | Functional | This cookie is used for cookie storage and will only be set if both session and local storage do not exist. It is extremely rare that session storage is not set in the browser window. QSI_DATA is rarely used. |
QSI_HistorySession | Analytics | Used in lieu of the “Site History” cookie, for the same purpose (keeping track of the number page views as well as how long the visitor has been on the site). |
QSI_OptInIDsAndTargetOrigins | Analytics | These two keys contain the Intercept ID mapped to any PopUnder opened by said intercept, as well as a map from the Intercept ID to the page “origin” that it originally came from. This is then used to update the PopUnder with updated Embedded Data upon navigation (unload), with the origin being used as additional security for the cross-window postMessage targetOrigin field. |
QSI_OptInIDsAndWindowNames | Analytics | These two keys contain the Intercept ID mapped to any PopUnder opened by said intercept, as well as a map from the Intercept ID to the page “origin” that it originally came from. This is then used to update the PopUnder with updated Embedded Data upon navigation (unload), with the origin being used as additional security for the cross-window postMessage targetOrigin field. |
QSI_ReplaySession_Info_ | Analytics | This cookie is used for identifying the session that is being recorded. This is necessary for recording page changes and reloads to be recorded on the same session. It contains information like sessionId, creationDataCenter, and sessionStartTime in a JSON format. |
QSI_ReplaySession_SampledOut_ | Functional | This cookie is used to stop session creation due to the session being sampled-out. The sampling percentage is determined by the sample rate set in your session replay settings. This value is a boolean. This cookie is ignored if it is a test session. |
QSI_ReplaySession_Throttled_ | Functional | This cookie is used to stop session creation and recording due to an encountered error. This value is a boolean. This cookie is ignored if it is a test session. |
QSI_S_ | Functional | Used to track visits and sampling rate set in the survey |
QSI_SI_ | Analytics | Used to determine whether or not we should display a survey on repeated user visits within a period |
QSI_TestSessions_ | Analytics | This cookie is used to determine whether the session is recorded in test session mode. A test session debugger will appear and sessions recorded will be identified by a test session label. This value is a boolean. |
QSIPopUnder_PopUnderTarget_SI_ | Functional | It helps Qualtrics prevent displaying another pop under if there is already one. This prevents multiple windows from crowding a site visitor |
QST | Functional | Qualtrics surveys will add a persistent cookie (QST) that is used to prevent the same person from taking the same survey multiple times. Website / App Insights also uses this cookie to evaluate “survey has been taken” logic in action sets. See the Submitting Survey Sessions section for more information on how this cookie works. |
SearchTerm | Analytics | These are used for supporting certain targeting conditions, such as which website originally referred the site visitor. They are typically set in session storage, but in the event they are unavailable, cookies will be used as a fallback. |
