Microsoft Clarity:

Microsoft Clarity sets a few different cookies in your browser to make its tracking work smoothly. Here’s what each one does, in simple terms:• _clck: This cookie remembers a user across visits to the same website. It helps Clarity recognise returning visitors and keep their settings consistent.• _clsk: It groups a visitor’s actions during a single session, like viewing different pages, into one recording. This gives a complete picture of their visit.• CLID: Used to know when someone is using Clarity for the first time across any site that has Clarity installed.• ANONCHK: This checks if a browser ID (MUID) is passed to another Microsoft cookie used for ads. For Clarity, this always returns a “no.”• MR: It tells Microsoft whether to refresh the MUID cookie, which is used for analytics and advertising.• MUID: This cookie assigns a unique ID to a browser and is shared across Microsoft sites. It’s used for measuring performance, analytics, and ad tracking.• SM: Helps keep the MUID consistent across different Microsoft domains.
