We are also interested in how the content is used on individual pages. The provider we use for this is called Hotjar. The cookie "_hjIncludedInSample" is then set as a "session cookie" to record when a visitor is included by Hotjar. The interactions of randomly selected, individual user:s are recorded anonymously. It is used to anonymously record interactions of randomly selected, individual visitors with the website. This creates a log of, for example, mouse movements and clicks, and we find out whether visitors to our website find what they are looking for.
